Today the government has arrested 30 Communsists thought to be guilty of attempting assasination of the Shah and several House of Parthi members including Crown Prince Shapour. They are currently being tried for attempting assasinations of the brother to the Divine and Highest Treason. We are expecting a ruling soon.

"With the powers vested in me by the Shah and Ahura Mazda I hereby sentince you rebels to death by beheading. Sentince effective tomorrow."

Outside the courthouse the beheading block was being prepared and the scimitar sharpened for the bloody task.

ooc: If anyone wants to try rescuing them you can rp it.

We will not interfere in your nation's affairs, but we request you refrain from executing them. Because their plans did not succeed, we recommend imprisonment or exile. I know many communist nations that would welcome them with open arms. If you do execute them, we truly hope it occurs only after they receive a fair trial and are proven guilty. We hope they are not being executed merely for being communists. As staunchly anticommunist as RB is, we do not hate the communists themselves, and we wish to have friendly relations with communist countries. We recommend an alternative to execution.

The Shah has decided to grant mercy to all but the ringleader of the attack who shall recieve lethal injection instead of beheading. Should any communist nation want the pardoned assasins you may take them.

We applaud your leniency and restraint. Neo-Soviet Russia would probably be willing to grant them asylum.

Hm. They might make effective bodyguards in my country...

you want them you can have them.

We would accept them, although we are a Democractic Republic. We have no fear of the "Red Menace" and all political views are respected within Agrigento. They will be able to settle in Agrigento. Refugee camps are hard to come by in Agrigento but they can stay in Government supported Housing Projects until financial independence can be acheived. We will accept them, once the medium of transportation is agreed upon.

I suppose I'll take them then. Could probably put them to good use

The People's Commonwealth of Beth Gellert, a pure communist society without currency or head of state/government is prepared to provide at least immediate short-term accomodation to the potential exiles. This offer is extended in the interests of the mortal saftey and base human rights of the accused.
In the long term it is hoped that The Commonwealth may discuss with The Parthians the nature of evidence against the concerned parties, and there after reconsider the situation. Should they wish to become long-term residents in Beth Gellert, innocence or probable innocence will be sufficient, and re-education may suffice in the event of their proven guilt.

I can have them transported here by military jet in under 2 hours.

I can have them transported here by military jet in under 2 hours.

ooc: Umm....you must be right next door then...Or you have some really fast jets

I can have them transported here by military jet in under 2 hours.
done, clearance granted for landing in Persepolis International Airport.

Seeing as the communists are already attended to, via the nation of Commie Chinatown, we see no reason to announce an opening to take these beings in.

We will, though, ask that the Parthians not only 'discuss the nature of evidence against the concerned parties', as suggested by the nation of Beth Gellert, but also make any and all evidence, as well as information and transcripts related to these trials publicly available.

(Cursed being asleep...)

Yes, we have found fingerprints of the ringleader on detailed plans of the Shah's palace which contained labels showing where to place explosives and coordinates to mortar teams including ones that would correspond to the shah's palace. We found two 81mm mortars and 500 pounds of C-4 in his apartment in addition to thirty Ak-47s and two RPG-7vs.

Apparently the ringleader has been resentinced to exile in Whittier. The Shah says that if communists attempt another assasination though there will be consequences.
