The human rights organisation Amnesty International has warned of a climate of fear in Fiji under the newly-reappointed military regime.
The organisation has just completed a fact-finding mission in the country.
It says citizens are living in fear because of "draconian measures" implemented since the abrogation of the constitution earlier this month.
The Military chief Frank Bainimarama was reinstated as interim prime minister in spite of a court ruling that his regime was illegal.
Amnesty International's Pacific researcher, Apolosi Bose, says what is developing in Fiji is a culture of extreme fear and intimidation.
The Amnesty International report says that human rights activists in Fiji were keeping quiet because of worries about their safety.
It says Local journalists have received death threats on their mobile phones and at their offices.
The report also says the media has been heavily censored, reporters have been detained and government critics silenced.
Amnesty International also suspects the interim government may be monitoring emails, blogs and online diaries in an attempt to suppress criticism and opposition.
