Fiji police say a man in his 50s has been taken into custody after he "allegedly issued a threat on social media" to remove the country's 2013 Constitution or "burn the nation's capital".
In a statement on Monday, police added that investigations are continuing.
"The suspect in his 50s was questioned by investigators from the Cybercrime Division at the Criminal Investigations Department Headquarters on Sunday 19 July 2026, and remains in custody," the statement read.
This comes as the Fijian government's dual and parallel constitutional review and truth and reconciliation processes are underway.
Fijian social media users have been warned that "inciteful posts or the practice of sharing such posts" can result in them being taken to task under Fiji's criminal laws for offences such as urging political violence, criminal intimidation and malicious acts.
"While respecting one's freedom of expression and speech, it must be practiced with responsibility, as abuse and the breach of the law will not be condoned," police said in an earlier statement on the issue on Sunday.
