The Fiji Corrections has confirmed that there was no alleged assault at the Maximum Corrections Center.

This is in response to an allegation of assault reported on Sunday.

Moceisuva has reiterated that they still maintain the zero-tolerance policy on assault at the FCS and there are procedures in place to deal with those accused or are found breaching the policy.
