He can only travel to the outer islands of Fiji without the authorisation of the Public Prosecutor. On 7 May 2012, he was permitted to travel abroad on the condition that a deposit was paid. On 25 September 2012, he was prevented from flying to the World Labour Conference in Beijing. Security forces stopped him when he was about to board and only released him after the plane had left.
