Kiribati left without high-level court after president suspends three appeal judges

The decision worsens the constitutional crisis plaguing the Pacific country, which also suspended a high court judge last month

Kiribati has been left without a high-level court after the government ordered the suspension of the three sitting judges of the court of appeal, worsening the constitutional crisis that has been plaguing the Pacific nation for months.

The move came after the suspension and attempted illegal deportation of high court judge, Australian-born David Lambourne last month.
