The editor-in-chief of the Fiji Times says he has received another threat, and he is taking it seriously.
Netani Rika is a staunch opponent of the interim government's censorship of the media in Fiji, which has brought him threats in the past.
He says he will be stepping up security at his home in Suva as a result of the latest one, which was posted on the internet on Friday.
He says the message was a warning for him to step down as the newspaper's editor.
"While I've been away from Fiji over the last few days, we have had some strange visitors at home and a phone call to the newsroom asking when I would be back," he said.
"In the current situation it forces us to be extremely careful." RA Online/Pacific Media Watch, 29/08/09.
