SYDNEY (Reuters) - Fiji Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama said on Thursday that the military was deployed across the country to complement the police in maintaining law and order.

"The reports of harassment suffered by our citizens and violence targeted at Indo-Fijian homes and businesses in the wake of the election are deeply disturbing," he said in a Facebook post.
