SUVA, Fiji (22 May 2000) -- Fiji rebels dragged Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry out in front of the parliament building and held a gun to his head.

Rebel leader George Speight has threatened to kill Chaudhry and other hostages if security forces try to retake the parliament.

President Ratu Sir Kamisese Maru again called for Speight to release the hostages but also said he would support the resignation of Prime Minister Chaudhry.

"If Mr. Chaudry wants to resign he can resign but it must come from him," Maru said.
