Gunmen have threatened and attacked prominent citizens, including Matthew Wale and Julian Treadaway, who have called for civil society to be allowed to play a role in the peace process now underway in the Solomon Islands' two-year ethnic conflict, and who have publicly opposed a blanket amnesty for those involved in the conflict, which has left more than 100 people dead.
