Re: Teenage Executions
I find the news of the planned execution of children disgraceful, even worse is that it will be televised! I am personally writing to beg for you not to carry out with their sentecing. A lesser sentence should be seeked, perhaps life imprisonment?
What is it that three children have done that is so bad? As far as I can see, all they are doing is rebelling, all children do this at some stage, and this is a TEEN group, teenagers generally are mostly harmless, all they want is to voice their opinions, and those voices should not fall on deaf ears, they are teh future after all.
I'll say it again, please do not murder these children.

They are ebing excecuted for three major crimes:
I) Membership of an illegal terrorist organisation.
II) Distribution of anti-fascist propaganda.
III) Conspiracy to murder a government official.

Re: Teenage Executions
This event disgusts and astonishes me. To think that you would send three teenagers to their death and televise it, too! I, too, am personally writing to you to beg you not to do this. It is entirely within your rights to punish them, but execution seems too cruel. A life imprisonment sentence seems right. However, I do not see a reason for why you are punishing them at all. It seems like it is simple teenage rebellion. If you kill them, I fear that your reputation will suffer greatly. If you wish to remain seen as good and honorable, please do not kill them.

Re: Teenage Executions
Though conspiracy to murder is a serious crime, they did not carry out the conspiracy, so why take lives, when they did not?
What evidence do you have of the conspiracy?
The membership of an illegal organisation should not mean death. When I was the leader of an illegal party, the fascists in charge did not kill me when I was captured and imprisoned. Even though I conspired against his life, mine was spared and I was jailed. The events that followed do not matter in this instance.
Finally, the distribution of anti-fascist propaganda is a negligible crime, is your grip on power that weak you fear revolution?

Conspiracy to murder is a dire crime and deserves a harsh punishment, but if they did not actually kill this man, I still find your planned execution too harsh. Life imprisonment is what I think would be the better punishment.

Official Communique from the Volzgradien Government
I, like my colleagues in the international community, am appalled by this show of unnecessary brutality. While we do respect the word of your justice system, executing children is far too harsh even by the standards of my infamous secret police. At worst, these children should be imprisoned for life without a chance of parole. If not that, then some forced labor will do the trick nicely. But executing little more then adolescents is a waste of bullets, TV news time, and is frankly; very unnecessary.

To: Marshal Von Jeisker, Volksplatz
From: The Office of the Regnant and the Diplomatic Corps of The Most Serene Noble Republic of Santheres
Despite our many differences and our distaste at the government of which you lead, we cannot impugn your sovereignty and your sacred right to act in accordance with the laws your nation has enacted and is thusly forced to uphold, if to a fault. It is in this manner that we also cannot help but acquire a certain distaste for those who would make demands of a nature that threatens your sovereignty without just cause or reasonable expectations.
Would but one of these nations take action and claim justified warfare in reaction to these events, we might understand. Of course, they wouldn't do such a thing and even if they did, it is doubtful any of their citizens would approve of sending hundreds, thousands, perhaps a million good soldiers to their deaths as response for the lawful execution of three boys who went to their deaths knowing they had committed an offense to their government. However justified they may have been in destroying what is most certainly your tyrannical regime, it was still unlawful and they knew that full well. So, our own disapproval aside, you have permission to make use of our stance in defense of your actions to any petty nation attempting to impose their impotent will over your people. One thing that must be learned by national leaders is that there are correct and incorrect ways to handle delicate affairs. Most seem to pick the latter.
If at some time we learn of mass violations of human rights within your nation, certain actions worthy of a noble nation may be required. We are sure you understand the possibilities and the consequences each thereof. If that is never the case, then we will hold in high regard your sovereignty. We hope others may do the same.

Subject: Teenage Executions.
Encryption: Medium.
Dear sir/ma'am,
Chiasia is glad to see another nation finally take notice of the threat terrorists pose, regardless of age. We recently executed five teenagers for hacking into their parent's bank accounts and using their parent's money to support a terrorist organization, with permission which we were given.
My only request is for it not to be televised; indeed, doing such is barabic and I'm not sure that your average citizen wishes to be flicking through the television channels and see blood, especially if they are eating.
Anyway, well done.
Yours,

Executing teenagers! I've got three kids and, to be honest, there are times when I wanted to do that myself. And I could have, too. I'm the freaking King!
But I didn't. And you know why? Because no matter how criminal they get as teens, when they grow up, they're invariably nice, sweet people who will do fine with inheriting the royal throne. Or they're *still* criminals, in which case you can execute them then. Either way. In future though, I'd recommend some different punishments -- if you execute them they go out like martyrs, with all the "You'll take our lives but you'll never take our freedom!" schtick, but ground 'em? Take away their iPods? Suspend their credit cards? Just wait a week or two, Marshal. They'll come crawling back begging to be allowed to lick your boots, mark my words.

Re: Teenage Executions
Upon hearing the news of the two youngest prisoners being deported to Battlehawk, and the eldest being executed, I feel slightly happier.
The eldest is an aldult under your law system, therefore allowed to be punished as an adult. Though I still feel capital punishment is wrong, that is your nation's choice, not mine, and I do not wish to start hostilities over it. The two younger prisoners can now be rehabilitated in Battlehawk and shall hopefully lead normal lives, without posing a threat to your country anymore.
I still wish to know what evidence of a conspiracy you have though.

Esteemed leaders,
The right to punish criminals is one of the most basic rights of any sovereign nation. That any "freedom loving" nation would oppose the Volksplatz government's plans to punish these dissidents is pure hypocrisy. The Imperium of Belkaros will not stand for this sort of infringement on Volksplatz's rights as a nation. To even ask for a lesser sentence for these proven terrorists is a gross insult to the leadership of this nation. I suggest all non-IFA states cease and desist before hostilities break out. Belkan troops are being prepped for deployment to Volksplatz to support native defenders against all threats.

Whilst our nation will not get involved in further conflict, we have asked for evidence of the conspiracy twice, and have received no reply on both occasions. These "proven terrorists" as you put it, could merely be innocent scapegoats got in the wrong place at the wrong time. What proof is there that they are "proven"?.
On a further note, I feel that this case is closed, the two youngest are being deported. and only one, innocent, or not, is going to their death. It is a compromise We all must be willing to take to end this dispute.
