The IUF-affiliated Hotel Employees Federation of India (HEFOI) held a demonstration in Delhi as part of the "Destination Fiji" [1] campaign to restore democracy and worker's rights.

Declaring their support for tourism workers in Fiji [2], HEFOI members distributed thousands of pamphlets to the public denouncing the repression of worker and trade union rights in the "tourism paradise". After the action the Delhi State Committee of HEFOI submitted a protest letter to the Fiji Embassy addressed to Commodore Bainimarama.
