Allegations of conspiracy against Prime Minister & his wife

Plans for abduction and execution

Today, at 11:30 am, it was revealed that 12 men arrested on Friday and imprisoned pending execution this morning were thought by the NSB to have been conspiring against the Government. This trial comes in the wake of preparations for war which caused major disruption to the civilian economy and civilian life, such as the imposition of curfews and closure of public houses. The legal representative for the men stated that "these men are totally innocent of the charges laid against them. They are members of the capitalist People's Choice Party, and believe firmly in Parliamentary action. There is absolutely no way that these claims are true, and I am appalled that the Jury convicted these men on such slim evidence."

This claim was however rebuffed by NSB officials, who stated that they had discovered and presneted as evidence plans within the locations of arrest detailing plans to abduct, hold to ransom and murder the Prime Minister's wife Lucy and to ensure the Prime Minister's death via several possible and meticulously-planned assassination methods. NSB Colonel Arnold MacDiarmid, who led the largest of the three raids on Friday morning, said that "these attacks were meticulously planned. Many of them showed knowledge of NSB procedures that we find worrying, and would highly probably have succeeded if properly executed." NSB also stated during the trial that they had discovered four AKM assault rifles, two SVD Dragunov sniper's rifles and a GP-30 rifle-mounted grenade launcher in their raids, bearing the fingerprints of the accused men, and large stocks of ammunition for these weapons.

Mr. MacDiarmid went on to state that "these men have been imprisoned for a very simple reason: in these dangerous times we cannot afford to take chances; the Jury recognised this and also the overwhelming evidence against these men, including papers, weapons, and audio tapes." Mr. MacDiarmid would not comment on how these tapes were obtained. He did however reveal that "the NSB will be conducting a thorough internal investigation in the light of the extensive knowledge these men had of our procedures."

Grenval supports your actions of a fair trial and specific evidence. Grenval condeems the death penalty, but as no international law was violated, Grenval again celebrates the fair trial.

Ministry of State Press Release

The Commonwealth of McQuaide stands by its ally the government of DPUO. The Commonwealth protests the use of the death penalty by any country, but will stand by and support the government of DPUO.

We thank Grenval and McQuaide for this show of support, and also hope that this will serve as an example to capitalists, showing that it is not the Communists who imprison and execute without trial!

:lol: Hey as long as they get a fair trial you have our support.

We normally don't even give people the benefit of a trial, well at least not a real and fair trial, mostly just a 20 minute show trial.

Hmmm... Perhaps this band of capitalist terrorists are a mirror sect of the group that Rotovia executed not too long ago? :D

The People's Republic mourns the recent failure of the people of DPUO to gain their freedom from the shackles of Communist oppression. Nevertheless, it is certain that your time of freedom shall come, just as it has come to your Halladi cousins, who have also thrown off their shackles, and are now prospering.
Just remember, when the time of your liberation arrives, you shall have a lot of friends in Shildonia who will assist your transition from Communist tyranny to free market freedom.

The PR of Necrovistania Commends Dontpissusoff for their actions against the capitalist monsters! Keep up the good work, comrades!

We stress that these men were not executed for their beliefs, but because they were intending to commit treason, abduction, blackmail and murder.

Red Wales would like to support DPUO against the Capitalist Terrorists .

We again thank Red Wales but reiterate that these men were not executed for their beliefs. The People's Choice Party is still alive and well, and quite tolerated by the Government.

The Bonstocknain government offers asylum to these men. We believe that the executions are unncessisary.

Damn those capitalists. Wait...Capitalists are good. Damn those non-capitalists.

:: senseless tag? oh yeah ::

We are sorry to inform the Bonstockian Government that the execution of all but one of the members has been carried out. The final man in the group is considered to be less dangerous than the others - he was merely acting as a messenger between groups - but is still an accessory to High Treason and will be dealt with accordingly.

Riots in Pechenga

The Pechenga Naval Base came under determined attack this evening by supporters of the People's Choice Party, aiming to express their outrage at the execution of the 12 treasonous PCP members arrested on Friday.

Naval personnel were forced to barricade themselves within the base in order to avoid turning their weapons upon the rioters; however eventually the latter were able to break into nearby buildings, from which they began hurling Molotov cocktails into the base's outer yards. Naval personnel returned fire with rifles and machine-guns before riot police were able to fully disperse the crowds, resulting in the deaths of 7 rioters; 2 remain in a critical but stable condition in Pechenga Civil Hospital. Two sailors were injured, one receiving second-degree burns and another suffering lacerations to the left leg, arm and torso They were treated in situ by Navy surgeons. Several bystanders were also injured the rioting, none severely.

Similar rioting occurred outside the Central Court in Krasniy Nvgorod, rsulting in injuries to several lawyers and bystanders, none of them serious, and in the centre of the Berghaus district of Novaya Magnitogorsk, which resulting in burning of vehicles and injuries to bystanders, though again none of these were of a serious nature. Riot police were able to quell these riots with water cannon and rubber bullets, and made around ten arrests in the process of doing so.

The Head of Police for the Pechenga Region, which saw the worst of the rioting outside the Naval base, described the riots as "a senseless act of violence against men and women who had nothing to do with this trial," while a representative of the PCP stated that "we are not consorting in any way with these rioters; their methods go against our entire way of acting to effect change in DontPissUsOff. We condemn these attacks and welcome the thorough action taken by the Government forces in the area." Police sources are refusing to speculate on whether this is an indication of the rise of an offshoot of the PCP or merely sporadic acts of violence.

OOC: Not sure where this is going...might turn into a rebellion type thing. Communist Government will probably win, if it does turn into a rebellion, but you never know...

Official Tag...errr, I mean, Statement

The GDMO government, though following capitalist economic principles, expresses its disappointment that such traitors are among the members of your government. Government, not crimes against the country, is the proper way of bringing about change. We hope only to see justice served where it is due.

--ANDRÉ CRATEINNE, Viscount of Freinte, Official Spokesman for the Archduke Philip IV

OK...bumbing...see if this works.

Communist Louisiana supports our long time allie and friend DPUO. We applaud that the "criminals" were given a fair trial. We would use the death penalty in the same case maybe worse.

"The Humanist Republic of Grunge-France regrets the executions that have taken place in DPUO, and condemns the way it conducted the trials.

The rotten plague of communism has taken away more lives: We found highly disturbing, this kind of mistreatment of the human life, and we take it as a frontal offense to the right of fair trial that every single human has, regardless of the crime, regardless of the judging government.

This is a formal complain to DPUO, a formal request also to moderate his oppressive ruthless communist regime, since, as specified in the Article no.45 of the Constitution of The Humanist Republic of Grunge-France, Communism itself is a crime against humanity, which jurisprudence concerns to all the nations in the world. We will not hesitate in starting a trial against DPUO for the crime of Communism in case we consider its violations to the human life to be carried out as a state policy"


Monsieur Albert Gurión, Chancellor of the Humanist Republic of Grunge-France.

-GRUNGE-FRANCAIS TELEVISION NETWORK:
This is Arnold Yerr with the report of the recent events:

The statement released by the chief of the Foreign Relations Department, Monsieur Albert Gurión, has unified the Grunge-French population. Some people however, claim that this move is just an oportunistic act to give Grunge-France some stability, based on its old loathe and old fight against Communism.
Even the "French Loyalists", the rebels who control most of the "Du Nord Isle", have said that "We, as patriotic Grunge-French people, recognise the Communism as a real enemy of not just the government, but an enemy of all the Grunge-French, and we will declare a ceasefire in case we launched another war against communism".

An oportunistic act or a honest act, what we can all see is that the social tourmoil has decreased and the population is preparing itself to support the nation against the hated "commies".

Rick Holl, a 63 year old business man whose daughter died 10 years ago killed by an AoE2 Regional soldier while protesting against the regime of the former President Alphonsé Gallé, declared:

"This dictatorship we are suffering will be overthrown, I have faith on that, but we have to set our priorities and fighting commies is more important and has to unite us all. The last time we "judged" a commie, we invaded it and overthrown its goverment. I think is time to show the world what we think about commies"

Grunge-France, you can not put a nation to trial for the way it governs it own self. Shildonia tried to put me on trial because I called him a terrorist supporter. In the end I got off scott-free with no trial and people calling him a moron(or maybe I was, cant remember).

Also, I am a very close allie of DPUO, and I would mobilize in a moments noticed and so would a majority of his allies and my own. We would like to point out that if you take alook at most communist nations on NS and compair them to capitalist economies, which nations have better political freedoms and civil rights?? Very rairly will you find one that doesn't. So I advise you to step down unless you would really like to look like the total crack pot you are.


Premier DuFour
Communist Louisiana

1. I sued your government for libel and slander.
2. You didn't "get off", you were ignored for flaming. (see 3)
3. You were the only one who was abusive. Everyone else was quite happy to go along with it. You made no attempt whatsoever to defend yourself against the charges, other than a Milosovich style rant against capitalism, during which much abusive language was used, primarily aimed at myself, but also at other users who criticised your use of abusive language and absolute lack of roleplaying ability.
4. In what is possibly the greatest U-turn in history, you then criticised me for not using diplomacy. This despite the fact you had earlier criticised my use of diplomacy. Schizophrenia, or just idiocy?
5. You clearly have some difficulty grasping the concept of propaganda, and indeed of roleplaying in general.
6. The best thing about these new fangled forums is that there is now an actual built in ignore list. I will never need to see one of your insane rants ever again.
Get On

The corporation expresses its outrage for your disdain for the capitalist way of life. We recognise that you do not persecute these men for their beliefs, but we believe that this situation may quickly become an excuse to purge capitalism from your nation. We will protect your nation's sovereignty, but if this becomes a purge we will stand by our capitalist brothers.
-Georg Obeschlik
Generian Corporate Foreign Minister

(OOC.: I have checked Shildonia´s comments and will keep them in mind to see if he´s right or no, provided this "issue" escalates, but his claims that you are basically a bad RPer will be remembered).


IC:


I suggest the representative of Communist Louisiana to clam down: Nothing good could result from such a cocky behaviour, specially against The Humanist Republic of Grunge-France, a nation that has went through a lot, and always has been victorious.
The difference between Grunge-France and other nations that you might have found, representative of Commie Louisiana, is that Grunge-France actually enforces its veredicts. We have done it with Galdania, a country far bigger than yours or DPUO, and we have done it damn right.

Diplomacy is our best weapon, though not the most convincing one... We feel that Communist Louisiana should discuse respecting our status, and respecting the diference between the commies, like itself, and the Civilised Nations, like The Humanist Republic of Grunge-France.


Monsieur Albert Gurión, Chancellor of the Humanist Republic of Grunge-France.

The Capitalist Imperium of Hallad condemns Grunge-France for their un-civilized policies and disrespect for Halladi allies. It's a shame that Communist and Capitalist nations cannot co-exist peacefully.

We do hope that Grunge-France is not threatening war with us. We may be comparatively small but we have many allies, and furthermore if such a war were to erupt would not hesitate to use any and all means at our disposal to beat back the invader. In addition we do not consider that the laws of Grunge-France apply to us or any other nation, and will not make any apology, retraction or modification for or of state policy when dealing with traitors, murderers and conspirators, crimes of which all these persons were guilty. Nor will we hesitate to take thorough action against any elements threatening the civlian population.

We made ourselves clear. We, as part of the humanity, DO have right and we DO have the force to put you in a trial and enforce our decision. And that is exactly what we are going to do, if we feel you fail to grant the human rights in your nation.
The threat of "I have many allies" has never made us tremble for we have our own allies.
Unlike you, we do understand the value of the Human Life: Grunge-France has the shortest nuclear weaponry of a country of our size. And we have enver used it. And we will not use it. We are far to advanced and civilised to understand the preciousness of the human life, which is the ame reason of why we have an important chemical-biological weapons program, but we have never used them against any of our enemies, nor we plan to do so.

Grunge-France, although we are a fierce capitalist state, we feel that you are infringing on the sovereignty of a nation that is acting under its jurisdiction to enforce its own national laws. If war comes between you and DPU, our soldiers will stand by the communists. I am sure others will do the same to block your imperialist move.

We would advise you most strongly to back down. If we do not hold the lives of our own people sacrosanct do you expect us to show any respect for the lives of yours? Furthermore do you expect us to reciprocate your foolish, idealistic weakness in not using every weapon available? Do you also expect us to simply accept your ruling, or indeed to be concerned by it?

DPUO, we will stand by your moves 100%.

Lets look at Grunge-France shall we?
Civil Rights:
Below Average
Political Freedoms:
Unheard Of

Now you try to say that DPUO "has failed to grant the human rights in HIS nation"

Well from looking at it, I would advise DPUO to counter sue you b/c unfortunatly your failing to do so to. If DPUO fails to counter sue we will counter sue ourselves.

And like you said, We also have the force to "enforce our decision"

We would also advise Grunge France to consider that we are of the opinion that capitalism is a crime against the rights of human beings, yet we do not seek to enforce our opinion upon others. WQe did not execute these men for being capitalists; the PCP still exists, as do its' supporters, and so do other advicates of the capitalist way. We do not, however, tolerate treason, murder, rape or abduction, and these men were conspiring to commit all four. In our nation these crimes merit at minimum the sentence on 20 years in a labour camp, and at maximum death by hanging, drawing and quartering.

The Federal Republic of Bonstock and Maropian Coast demands that these executions stop, or it will mean the severance of diplomatic relations between our two nations.

Again, we respect the wishes of Bonstock in the strongest terms (OOC: I really do, I can see the arguments against the death penalty all too well), but make no apology for our actions and will not be reversing our standing policy. The PCP still exists, the adherents of capitalism still live, the right to chocie is still alive in our country, but twelve dangerous men unwilling to actually get popular support and instead prepared to commit four heinous, unforgiveable crimes against two fine, upstanding people do not. We judge that this is the correct outcome to these events.

Again, we are sorry that we could not send these persons to you. Had we been aware of the offer earlier, we would have considered exiling them to your nation, on condition that they be prevented from returning here by any means; we will remember the ofer for the future. As it stands, however, these men are all dead, with their heads on spikes in Krasniy Novgorod, and are beyond help by any mortal man.

Bonstock would be willing to accept any further condemed men and women for asylum should the DontPissUsOff government find it nescissary.

Though Hattia doesn't condone the death penalty, we do believe it is the sovereign right of every nation to create their own policies. If anything capitalism is a crime against humanity. No one starves to death while working their lives away to make some guy they'll never see rich and for his kids to never work a day in their lives under Hattian socialism. Hattia does not threaten your nation with war for your internal policies, even though you obviously believe communism is evil. You have do not have the right to enforce your beliefs upon any sovereign nation. If Grunge France feels the need to attack a nation for such petty reasons, they will have to go through Hattian soldiers first.

We are thankful to Hattia for this courageous offer. Hopefully we can avoid an unnecessary war at this point.

We are not considering any kind of attack or any kind of punishment for any action DPUO has taken so far right now.
We will ,however, consider actions against DPUO if we find in the future flagrant violations to the human dignity.

The Grunge-French Government has nothing else to say on what just has happened in DPUO and its executions, nor will launch any war or intervention or trial against DPUO based on what just have happened. The future will tell if the barbaric nature of Communism un DPUO will have to face the justice of a Government who highly respects and understands the nature of the humanity.

We have to say we are appreciative of this decision. We were in any case rather surprised at the threat made to us, which would liekly have led your intervention using, covertly or overtly, military force, from a nation so concerned for the welfare of humans.

Libericus Federal News Network(LFNN)
Today Praefectus, Nicholas J. M. Flies expressed outrage as he recieved news from Acting Foreign Affairs Advisor, Allen Jurgen. "This was not a show of justice it was act of murder, from an oppressed people and an evil dictator" the Preafectus has called upon all nations to condemn this act. Praefectus Inferior, William Krieger said today "these horrid acts of so called "justice" only show us what the true nature of communists are. It shows all nations of the world that communism is still a very real threat not to be taken lightly". The Panel of Overseas Civilian Affairs has urged all Liberican Citizens overseas to return home especially those in Dontpissusoff and in bordering nations, aswell as those within Communist nations.

Stay Tuned for further developments.

For LFNN reporting from P.R. Capitolium I'm Victoria Heiss

The actions taken to crush politcal differences by show trials and flimsy evidence is appalling. Is it not possible to allow the beauty of capitalism to flourish in your nation? Magdha would like to see real elections where there are capitalists able to run for office and move your goverment forward.

OOC: I can see no point in holding elections on the boards, simply because then it is not the people of my country deciding but everyone else and their puppets.

IC: We are amused to hear these accusations coming from the Maghdan Government. Perhaps you know something we do not about these men?

OOC: Okeydokle, I've decided this shall be a rebellion/insurrection by an ultra-militant capitalist movement. I'm looking for someone to RP the capitalists. Bear in mind that you aren't going to win, please, if you do volunteer. Also, a few ground rules. 1) Not supid arms shipments/weapons, i.e. no suddenly acquiring a regiment of Mi-24s or a Delta-II misile sub OK? 2) Keep it sensible. You can't just take over the Govenment. Hostage taking, agitation and whatnot, fine. 3) Please give me any feedback you feel :)

OOC: sure, why not. I can use terrorist tactics, right? just give me the logistics, such as number of rebels, equipment, etc. and can I have a few intelligence agents from my nation operating inside your borders, for monitoring purposes?

Yeah, terrorist stuff is fine, just no WMD detonations or anything, at least not at this stage. And yeah, you can have a cell. I'd say you have about 550 rebels in each of the three districts that are rebelling, of a total population of around 3,000, armed with stuff like M16s, Stingers, LAWs and so on or similar. I'll work out some exact figs and get a map done for you.
