	IFEX ::
		The Pacific Islands News Association (PINA) and Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontières, RSF) have raised concerns that constitutional amendments signed by Tonga's King Taufaahau Tupou IV will effectively snuff out freedom of expression in the island nation.
		The approval of the amendments also reinstates a ban on the newspaper that was struck down by a Supreme Court ruling last May. Critics of the move, including RSF, say the amendments are aimed at silencing the New Zealand-based newspaper, which has been a thorn in the side of the government.
		King Taufaahau also signed into law two bills - the Newspaper Act and the Media Operators Act - that give the government broad licencing powers over the media.
