Former Fijian Army Commander Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara, aka Roko Ului, has departed Tongan shores today for Australia to speak in a pro-democracy rally in Canberra.
He was granted Tongan Citizenship and a passport yesterday.
He is still awaiting New Zealand's decision on whether they will allow him to enter the country.
He is expected to be back in Tonga in at least a week.
Mara landed in Tonga a month ago after a “fishing expedition” went wrong and was “rescued” by Tongan Navy.
He has been accused by Fijian Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama of jumping bail, after he was charged with sedition for voicing anti-government remarks.
