"Good evening to thoes around the world. I'm Alica Allens reporting to you from Carmina Gadalica, tonight I'm joined with Photographers James Greenwood, and Seth White who have captures some stunning photographs of military brutality in Stevid's occupation of Truce Island, teritory once protected by Kanami. Thanks for joining me guys. The world hasn't reacted to the napalming of these people do you think this will do anything?"

"I don't know I hope so, the world really I think has been turning a blind eye to the shrewed acts comitted by these nations, and what we saw on Truce was horrorfying."

"That's right Alica. We were in a crowd full of these people, and we have a lot of pictures of these people stuned and horrorfied by these strange people, and suddenly these men dressed as knights, I kid you not knights much like this drawing http://************/ydswa4, stood and shouted that they claimed this island in the name of Stevid in the name of their Empire, then called for all Shinto Preists to stand. Non did so they dragged a few out of the crowed constructed a make shift gallow and a warning these photos are disturbing, and they hung them, they didn't do anything other than be Shinto, these men had no weapons on them

they just kept silent because these people have been under Soviet occupation they know when they are occupied. Not only that these people were beaten before being hung. My question is, how is this being allowed?"

"All right we have to take a break, but we'll be back don't go away and we are accpeting your questions and comments for our guests. Still to come INTERPOL is building their case against the Global Defense Inititave, and it looks like they have more to go on with these latests developments."

We support the actions of these brave photographers and their work to the international community. We views these photos as proof that there is still unjustice in the world. Once more, we salute these brave men and women.

OOC: Just for the record for everyone reading, there was only one Knight and a Priest WAS dragged out, not innocents. Only one Priest was killed. This is probably pretty crafty propaganda on Kanami's part but i don't want undue criticism.

And for the record Kanami, the Knights Templar look nothing like the picture you supplied. They are well described in my post. If you want a drawing/picture that resembles a Knight like mine then Google "Knights Templar".... it was a real Christain organisation in the year 1200 onwards but died out after they were abolished for heresy by the Inquisition. A sect of their order dwells in perfect safety in Stevid.

"And were back again with our two photographers. We have our first letter

"Dear Sirs,
Is it possible you are making this up or otherwise exadurating in the intrest of propaganda?
Sincerly, A Stevid Resident."

"The answer is simply no. We are journalists we report as such. I think the person who wrote this letter ought to figure out what free-press is, something I imagin is unheard of there, and probably should start asking questions."


"Now there have been a squad of reporters from various nations capturing stunning pictures, what is about the photos you both captured diffrent?"

"At this point the fighitng has submitted and it is now declared under occupation, thus as such they have to abide by occupation rules by the Geneva Convention, and we do know they follow the convention because during the first war, Aqua Anu was told to surrender and they would be treated in accordance as such, this is a flat out violation. Frankly all the war-phots will probably constitue as evidence as war-crimes."

"We are still wating for more questions by phone or by letter, if you would like to ask a question or leave a comment please do so, we have this comment:

"Great comment there, we thank them very much."

OOC:

Sorry Kanami, i'll get a post up soon as i can- PC is still playing up..it's taken me three days to get the RP post up :D

EDIT:

"Dear Sirs, I may be a simple citizen of Stevid but i must protest at some of the things you are saying about my dear country. I do believe that the war Stevid is fighting against Kanami is completly and utterly wrong- but your facts against the Stevidian Governemnt and military of war crimes is completly absurd. If KNN actually picked up an encyclopedia (NS Wiki) and looked at Stevid and found the section about Knights Templar, you would discover that that religion in Stevid acts independently from the governemnt in all shapes and forms. The KNights Templar offer support to the governemtn but do not act upon its behalf and thus they are guilty of crimes (if any) asnd not the government.

Religion is not a polictical party and so, in my opinion, isn't bound by the Geneva Convention- although i'm against that fact myself. I urge this news company to get it's facts right before waving acusations- acusations that the Templar's will surely ignore.

If they do not bow to democracy, or politics on a whole, then they certainly won't bow or be affected by a few mesely war reports.

Thank You- Thomas Hamilton- Stevidian Citizen"
