Hundreds of reservists in an Air Force operations unity sign a letter warning that they will refuse to volunteer for duty if the judicial overhaul goes ahead.

Reservists have begun reissuing their threats since the government began unilaterally pushing the controversial legislation again this week.

“As long as the unilateral steps to eliminate the democratic regime continue — we will immediately stop volunteering for active service,” the letter says.
