In 2014, Batsiua along with other opposition MPs were suspended from their parliament seats.[6] In June 2015, there was an anti-government protest against this.[7] Batsiua was arrested, and 18 other people in total were charged, dubbed the Nauru 19.[8] [9] On 13 September 2018, they were granted a permanent stay on their case.[10] The government appealed, and the stay was lifted.
