Posted at 07:42 on 12 November, 2007 UTC
The emergency regulations in Tonga have been extended for another month, one year after rioting destroyed the bulk of the central business district of Nuku’alofa.
It is the 13th time the regulations have been rolled over.
They limit access and activities within parts of the CBD and prohibit groups of five or more from meeting at certain sites.
The Information Minister, Afu’alo Matoto, says the police and defence service remain concerned at the continuing resistance to the Government shown by some pro-democracy activists.
