I am extremely disturbed by the content your latest Editorial about the new development in political reform in Tonga in which three of those PRs charged with sedition relating to 16/11 have been selected to form a Tripartite Committee to vet proposals for political reform in Tonga. I wholeheartedly agree with you that this move is "as much a set back in our strive for political reform in Tonga in the 21st century as was the destruction in Nuku'alofa on November 16 last year".
