Committee Chair Netani Rika confirmed to FBC News they would be looking into the allegations and seeking submissions from those alleged to have been tortured.

Lawyer Ravindra-Singh who first reported the incidences to overseas media says he will make a statement this afternoon.

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro says they have yet to receive any formal complaint from Ravindra-Singh on the matter in which he alleges his staff were tortured and threatened by security forces.

Ravindra-Singh told overseas media that his involvement representing those charged with sedition is the reason for the alleged torture and threats.
