A Fijian soldier takes up a position in front of the country's Parliament house in Suva before other troops entered the building December 6, 2006. Deposed Fiji Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase has called on Fijians to stand up for democracy, and in what seemed like an act of defiance, senators in his deposed government held a budgetary sitting in parliament on Wednesday as armed soldiers patrolled the parliamentary compound.
