++++ FLASH NEWS UPDATE FROM STERWIN ++++

Roger Jackson,
Jasper, Sterwin.


TODAY, the Government of Sterwin announced measures to protect our country from The Rights of Labour Unions Bill in front of the United Nations.

The following measures have been put in to law:

1. The category of Economic Terrorism has been created, and has the penalties of the existing categories of Terrorism.

2. Strike Action, which has not been authorised by the Goverment WILL be classed as an act of Economic Terrorism.

3. The High Court of Sterwin, has been recognised in Law as the highest legal authority, the UN cannot supersede the authority of the High Court.

4. In the prevention of Terrorism, the Government of Sterwin, is authorised to place any group, and members thereof under surveillance until it is satisfied there is no threat to national security.

When questioned about these reactions, to a bill which looks like it has the support of the international community with 8957 nations in support
and 6040 against, a senior Minister stated that "This is a bill which is too intrusive over what is effectively, internal policy. This is an issue which has effectivly split the UN".

This reporter awaits the reaction of the international community.

This is Roger Jackson in Jasper for Sterwin International News Services.
