The Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration wishes to confirm that Dr Sun Myung Moon has been prohibited from entering the country pursuant to the Immigration Act after due consideration of this law governing entry of visitors into the country.

According to the Chief Executive Officer Dr Lesi Korovavala, the Ministry considered the representations made from individuals and religious organizations, who have expressed serious concerns regarding the repercussions of some of Dr Sun Moon’s ideologies, beliefs, practices and how he conducts his personal life.

“In short, Dr Sun Moon’s doctrines are considered misleading, repugnant and divisive and would affect the peace, good order, public safety and public morality of the Fiji Islands.

“On that premise, Dr Sun Moon is considered as not a fit and proper person to enter the country.”

Dr Korovavala further highlighted that Fiji is a sovereign democratic country, and as such he stated, “we have every right to decide to whom we will admit or refuse admission to our borders.”
