Virisila Buadromo

Virisila Buadromo (born 1972) is a Fijian political activist and former journalist, who was the executive director of the Fiji Women's Rights Movement (FWRM) from 2001 to 2015.

The Fiji Village news service reported on 9 December that she had issued a strong warning to any persons interested in applying for ministerial positions in a Military-backed government that participation would be illegal, and that the FWRM was documenting events in the wake of the coup.

She had already condemned lawyer Rodney Acraman on 15 December for accepting the position of Ombudsman and Chairman of the Fiji Human Rights Commission.

[5][6] On 23 December, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, had accused Buadromo, along with lawyer Imrana Jalal, of having published his personal e-mail address and mobile telephone number in newspapers, which was causing him problems, he said.
