PORT VILA (Vanuatu Daily Post/Pacific Media Watch): A brave local woman has come forward with a shocking story of out-of-control violence in Vanuatu.

Bus and taxi drivers stand accused of forcibly abducting the local tour company employee, striking her repeatedly and forcing her to apologise to a transport association "president" for saying that local drivers were "big headed" and were acting "unprofessionally".

SEVEN MEN ARRESTED, SAY POLICE
Vanuatu Daily Post’s Facebook feed reported today a police statement saying they had arrested seven men allegedly involved in the attack. Police were applying for a court warrant to remand the accused behind bars until “completion of police investigations and subsequent court hearings”.
