Tonga teacher charged with cultivating 51 cannabis plants at 'Eua High School

Open questions the AI reported

• The sources give no separate weight for the cannabis seized, and no value estimate was published.
• Matangi Tonga reported on 2 July that the teacher was still in police custody and had not been named; no bail decision, plea, trial or sentence was reported in the opened sources.
• The 27 June 2019 arrest is the date of the arrest; 2 July 2019, the date of the charging report, is used as the incident date because it is the case's latest step.
• Kaniva Tonga describes the 18 plants as seized from an area 'immediately outside' the school compound while Matangi Tonga says 'outside the school compound'; the report follows Matangi Tonga.
• No opened source states whether the 51 plants were uprooted and destroyed or held as evidence, so they are counted as plants destroyed under the tracker's convention.
• The photograph on the Matangi Tonga page is credited to Tonga Police and captioned only as alleged cannabis plants seized at 'Eua; it is not stated whether it shows all 51 plants.
• RNZ's article carries a generic AFP stock library photo of marijuana, which is not used here.
• The submitted Matangi Tonga page is paywalled beyond its lead paragraph, so the 27 June account could only be quoted from that sentence here; the plant split and the charges come from the paper's print view and from RNZ and Kaniva Tonga.
