Alleged OLP blogger arrest

Samoan attorney general, police sued over OLP arrest

Katerina Maria Lesatele was arrested in April 2017 on suspicion of being connected to the OLP blog.

She was reportedly initially detained at the police headquarters in Apia for a day and when she was released, the police requested to further detain her until their investigation was completed.

She was then reportedly detained at Tafa'igata prison for five days.

According to Talamua Online, Lesatele said that the police had been after her since 2015 claiming that she knew who OLP was, but it was not until April last year that she was arrested.
