The Seychelles Supreme Court has summoned social media influencer Bernard Sullivan before the court, to answer charges related to cyber harassment and hate speech.

The 63-year-old Beau Vallon resident will appear before the court on May 30, 2025 at 9am. This is in connection to a social media post allegedly targeting elected member of the St Louis district in the National Assembly, Sathya Naidu, which went viral late March.
