Legal Communique: 3rd October 2003

The following is the official indictment of former Dominion Praetor Nalid Killian and a listing of the charges against him. Justices of the Court, upon review of the indictment, should accept the official testimonies and statements of other nations that have a direct role in the CCRC revolution against Killian.

1. Illegal usurpation of power from a legitimate elected government (The Commonwealth's former Ruling Council and the Grand Parliament). Killian, who was also the Chancellor, engineered a total coup of the state leadership with a forced takeover of the Parliament building with loyalist forces.

2. Assasination and execution of political opponents. Most notable of these high-profile acts involved the arrest, torture, and execution of former Senator Raif Galador. Galador had been serving as Majority Leader in the Grand Parliament and was subsequently murdered by Killian for his resolute refusal to sign over absolute power over to him. Other members of the Parliament that opposed Killian were also hunted down and executed, although some did manage to escape to join the CCRC.

3. Unilateral elimination of the national constitution and the imposition of an indefinite status of martial law. Upon assuming power, Killian with his supporters within the new Royal Electorate officially voided the existing constitution, thereby rescinding numerous rights (such as free press, free speech, religion, and assembly) and imposed a permanent state of martial law, with Dominion Neo-Praetorians patrolling the streets.

4. Belligerent Acts of Aggression against UN member states and Balkan regional members. On numerous occasions, Killian used Dominion might to intimidate the CCRC insurgents and the nations that supported the revolt. When the Free Republic of Thracia and Byzanthine pledged support to the CCRC, Killian engineered attacks against Thracia and Tolomakia in order to force these governments into halting its support of Elhaj Ramani and his band of freedom fighters. (i.e. Attack on the Tolomakian naval battleship, S.S. Invincible and the cruise missile attack against the Thracian capital of Burgas)

5. Masterminding terrorist attacks against civilians, military personnel, and diplomatic representatives. Case in point: The car bombing of the Annoyastani fact-finding mission to Xandria, that killed Minister of Truth Glitz's Chief of Staff as well as 8 other people. We also believe that Killian, from behind prison, has spearheaded and ordered the "dirty bomb" attack against Council headquarters, killing our Information Minister Liu Juntao and 300 other people.

6. Torture and Execution of Political Dissidents and other Citizens deemed as "traitorous". Throughout Killian's reign, he rounded up hundreds of citizens that were considered seditious. They were placed in numerous torture camps and forced to make false confessions, while others were raped, molested, and executed.

7. Production and Development of Weapons of Mass Destruction including but not limited to: nuclear, biological, and chemical arms. Several former scientists have admitted to working on these projects during Killian's regime. (Added by the Prosecution on 15 October 2003)

We hope that the aforementioned indictments clarify our case for prosecution against Nalid Killian. If the justices have any further questions concerning our case and our evidence, feel free to contact our Ministry of Justice in our capital of Xandria.

Chief BICJ Prosecutor
Ministry of Justice, Xandria

The Court thanks the New Commonwealth Minister of Justice for the submission of the official indictment.

Now, the next step is to hear from Nalid Killian's defense team.

OOC: Who is going to write Killian's defense?

OOC: We are also planning to write Killian's defense. LOL. Kind of like playing Devil's advocate for both sides. On a side note: Will the justices be hearing testimonies from the witnesses or will they make a decision solely on each counsel's statements?

Just to explain the modus operandi of the BICJ.

1-Cases are presented to the court, which are then assesed and presented fro process.
2-On the trial, we hear the statements from the prosecutor, followed by statement by the defence.
3-After that the justices will make statements or questions to the prosecutor, defence or witneses that ir considers necessary.
4-Both prosecutor and defence make final statements
5-The Court emits a resolution.

We thank the justice from Pepestonia for clarifying the proper procedure and protocol for the operation of this case.

Legal Affadavit of Defendent: Killian, Nalid

The following is the official affadavit of the defendent, Nalid Killian. It also serves as a counter-memoratorium to the statements released by the Prosecution several days earlier.

Personal Statement by the Defendent: (witnessed by the Chief Defense Counsel)

"My name is Nalid Killian. I was the former Head of State of the Imperial Dominion of the New Commonwealth. I was also the former Chancellor of the previous regime of the Commonwealth. Contrary to popular belief, my seemingly forceful usurpation of power from the Ruling Council was not a ambitious grab for power. I was protecting the integrity of the government. For years, the Council has manipulated the Chancellor and cowed him to submission. Years of corruption and back-door deals had made the Commonwealth a decadent morass of bureaucratic decay. Politicians being bribed left and right, while corporate lobbyists controlled every string of the government. Someone had to take decisive action to end this gross mismanagement.

I still to this day defend my actions. The only reason why martial law was imposed for so long was to ensure that the Dominion was stable from the dangerous and radical insurgents that were the CCRC. The Constitution and the Rights that were entitled to the People were never circumvented. They were merely put on brief hiatus in order to empower the federal government the ability to ensure the national security from Elhaj Ramani and his band of terrorists.

The accusations that I somehow masterminded the bombing of the Annoyastani fact-finding mission is completely ludicrious. I never authorized such an operation. I never had any prior knowledge of the terrorist attack on the Council headquarters, nor did I ever torture or execute my very own constituients. The attacks against Thracia and Tolomakia were in pure SELF-DEFENSE. I reiterate self-defense due to the fact that these governments were actively aiding the CCRC terrorists. Despite our government's protests, they continued to supply aid to Ramani. We had to take decisive action."

If the justices have any further questions concerning the Defense's case and strategy, feel free to contact our office at UBA headquarters in Leidestrad. The Defense team is preparing a comprehensive dossier of evidence verifying Mr. Killian's statement to be submitted within the next few days.

Gustav Lastrad
Chief BICJ Defense Counsel
UBA HQ, The Democratic States of Leidestrad

The Justice from Pepestonia, just wants to make a question over this statement.
Does the mentioning of the UBA on this case is meerely a geographical location, or is The Alliance functioning as defence of the accused ?

As a member of the Unified Balkan Alliance, we can tell you that the Alliance is not functioning as defence of the accused at the moment.
If Leidestrad and the other members of the Alliance want it to act as defense of Nalid Killian, the Justice of Ancient Races (Judge Hawk) cannot act as Justice in this case..

The Commonwealth would like the clarify that the Unifed Balkan Allaince as a geopolitical entity is NOT defending Nalid Killian. Leidestrad is currently acting in only a geographical capacity for the defense team. The current political atmosphere in the Commonwealth is too dangerous for the defense team to operate in.

Byzanthine, which has recently joined the Commonwealth in the joint prosecution of Killian, has submitted the following witness list and the names of the their lawyers that will join Chief Prosecutor Von Steuben on the case:

"Lawyers:
Lic. Alexandria Markomanov, has a phd on politics and international affairs. peformed study regarding war crimes. member of the most destacated law association on my nation, Markomanov-Fatima and associateds.

Coronel Nicholaus Kristallis : Has a phd on military code, war crimes, international affairs and several study. a good soldier, and the best

"

The Commonwealth is also planning to augment this list with some witnesses of its own. It plans to submit this to the Court within the next few days.

Frederick von Steuben
Chief BICJ Prosecutor
Ministry of Justice, Xandria

Very well
What are the arguments of the defence ?

The Defense team will be submitting its counter-memoratorium on the case in the next several days. In addition, a witness list will also be submitted.

The Commonwealth has a question of the justices:

Will certain witnesses be granted prosecutional immunity for their cooperation in testifying in the trial?

Prosecutional immunity is something the authorities of New Commonwealth can give to the witnesses.

Our Court does not have the right to prosecute, unless a country invites us to prosecute a certain person. In fact, we do not even have a prosecutor, as such.

Legal Dispatch: 7th October 2003

The following is the official statement of the Defense Counsel and the defendent's plea concerning the charges:

Plea: NOT Guilty

Nalid Killian, through his lawyer, Gustav Lastrad, denies ALL involvement or knowledge the charges that have been leveled against him. His statement reflects his assertion that he acted in the best interest of the Commonwealth and to root out the corruption of the old regime. All military action was in complete SELF-DEFENSE from belligerent nations (Byzanthine, Tolomakia, EuroSoviets, Thracia) and rebel terrorist forces. (CCRC)

The Defense is also preparing to release recorded conversations and documents that verify Kilian's statement of mass corruption within the Grand Parliament and the Ruling Council. This dossier should be ready by this time tomorrow.

Colonel Gald Masako: Formed military aide to Killian and Viceroy Valinus, attests to no war crimes being ordered or committed with Killian's knowledge

Dr. Jaka Jellico: Former Dominion weapons scientist, testifies that there was NO illegal weapons program

Saki Onimusha: Former Dominion bureaucrat, legislative aid to Senator Lyle of the Royal Electorate, testifies that the Royal Electorate had true legislative power and proposed and approved many government intitiatives, there existed true power-sharing between branches of government

We would like that justices to carefully consider these witnesses and their potential testimonies at trial.

We would very much like to listen to the witnesses supplied by the defense.

From: Chief BICJ Defense Counsel
Official Testimony: 9 October 2003

The following is the offical transcript of the testimony of Vlad Derevko before the Balkan International Court of Justice on the 9th of October 2003. All the statements below were made in accordance with the witness' own will and was not in any way coerced or manipulated. This transcript only contains the Defense Counsel's line of questioning and does NOT include the prosecution's cross examination. The Prosecution team will provide their own version to the court.

Lastrad: Please state your name for the Court please
Derevko: Vlad Josef Derevko.
Lastrad: What was your last occupation before the ascension of Nalid Killian?
Derevko: I was the chief Finance Minister on the Commerce Attache to the Commonwealth's Ruling Council.
Lastrad: And what was your primary duties as Finance Minister?

Derevko: I oversaw the governmental intervention and manipulation of interest rates, as well oversee the coffers of the National Treasury.
Lastrad: Were you the saw administrative oversight over these duties?
Derevko: Although I was the de facto chief of the national finances, there were many back alley bureaucrats who intervened into my department.
Lastrad: Intervened?
Derevko: More like corrupted manipulated. Dozens of officials from the Foreign Ministry, the Defense Command, even the Chancellor's Office routinely funneled money from the Treasury and bribed workers to keep silent. Many corporations were getting kickbacks and political favors through this loophole.

Lastrad: And you didn't try to stop them?
Derevko: Many of these "bureaucrats" were superior ranking officials. If I protested, my job would be on the line.
Lastrad: Did you ever partake in this corruption? (i.e. extortion, bribery, money laundering)
Derevko: No i did not. Several of my aides can attest to that. Furthermore, I wrote dozens of communiques urging the Council to step in and stop the corruption. I never got a response back.
Lastrad: So how would you sum up the entire situation?

Derevko: The entire governmental infrastructure and institutions were corrupt. From the Judicial System to the Finance Ministry all the way up to the Ruling Council. Almost everyone was in on it and they were perfectly content to let it continue. Corruption was intertwined into the very nature of the Commonewealth. Only something very drastic could facilitate any beneficial change to the government.
Lastrad: Thank you Mr. Derevko. No further questions, Your Honors.

We hope the justices will consider Mr. Derevko's testimony very carefully in their deliberations. The testimonies of the other witnesses will be taken in the upcoming days.

The Prosecution would like to inform that we will present our own witnesses' testimonies (including Byzantine's submitted list) within the next few days. Our analysts and paralegal team are compiling the information as we speak. Also, the Prosecution is also preparing to cross-examine the Defense witnesses as well.

Frederick von Steuben
Chief BICJ Prosecutor
Ministry of Justice, Xandria

The Commonwealth would like to humbly ask the justices whether their deliberation has been put on temporary hiatus. We are merely wondering why there has been no response from any justice in quite some time. If the case is indeed temporarily suspended, then the Commonwealth will put the case into archive and utilize that time to further develop its case.

Frederick von Steuben
Minister of Justice, DSNC
Chief BICJ Prosecutor, Xandria

If it is not a logistical problem, we, the justices, would like to listen to the testimonies of Mrs. Masako (Killian's military aid) and Jellico (the weapons scientist).

The Chief Defense Counsel thanks the Thracian justice for its expedient response. We are currently preparing Masako's and Jellico's statements to the Court. Their official testimonies should be provided to the Court within the next day or so.

Legal Affadavit: 14 October 2003

The following is the official testimony of Dr. Jaka Jellico before the Justices of the Court. Dr. Jellico was a former scientist who worked in the Advanced Research Systems (A.R.S.) division of the Dominion weapons program. The following is the direct questioning from his attorney, Mr. Gustav Lastrad.

Lastrad: Please state your full name for the Court please.
Jellico: Jaka Federico Jellico
Lastrad: What was your primary occupation during the leadership of Praetor Nalid Killian?
Jellico: I was the head of research for the Advanced Research Systems (A.R.S.) division of our weapons program.
Lastrad: What was your basic duties as head of your department?
Jellico: I was responsible for overseeing research and insuring production deadlines from my technicians and scientists in my division.
Lastrad: And what exactly was being researche and developed at A.R.S.
Jellico: Various anti-missile systems, integrated communications networks, and improved ballistic accuracy.
Lastrad: So your division was never responsible for developing nuclear weapons, chemical or biological agents, or other so-called "weapons of mass destruction"?
Jellico: Never. Not once of my directorshp have any such program been developed or implemented with my knowledge.

The following is the cross examination by opposing counsel, the prosecutor, Frederick von Steuben.

Steuben: Did your department ever develop the systems that could facilitate such weapons of mass destruction?
Jellico: What do you mean?
Steuben: Have you ever oversaw the development of missile and deployment systems that COULD potentially carry a nuclear, biological, or chemical payload.
Jellico. *hesitates* Theoretically yes
Steuben: Isn't it true that most departments were compartmentalized?
Jellico: Yes
Steuben: So couldn't you assume that since such departments were segregated, you could have not known about the possible development of weapons of mass destruction?
Jellico: *sighs* Yes that is possible, but anything is possible.
Steuben: And isn't it true that some workers had some autonomous programs and projects that were not directly tied to A.R.S.?
Jellico: Yes
Steuben: So they could have been developing certain projects and passing it down the hierarchal system of researchers without your knowledge?
Jellico: Yes, but...you have to under....
Steuben: *cuts him off"...Thank you Dr. Jellico, no further questions Your Honors.

We would like to remind Mr. Steuben and Mr. Lastrad that the indictment against Killian does not mention production of weapons of mass destruction.

If Mr. Steuben wants to pursue this issue, he must present witnesses who can testify that Killian's regime were indeed producing or were planning to produce WMDs. (The latter is more likely given that Killian's was a very short-lived regime).

The Prosecution is well aware that the production of weapons of mass destruction was not included in the initial indictment. However, new information has surfaced that has led us to believe that Killian was actively pursuing these weapons. Consequently, the Prosecution are preparing witnesses to attest to this fact. Our legal team has officially modified the indictment to include WMD's.

Ok, Thank you for the clarification.

We are glad to be of service, Thracia.

The following is the official testimony of General Radik Stukov of the Dominion Air and Ground Forces, under the command of Praetor Nalid Killian. He commanded all regular army and air force units, with exception to Valinus' Neo-Praetorian Guards and Admiral Gregarov's naval forces. He has been granted prosecutional immunity for his testimony here today. He is currently in a Witness Protection Program, due to numerous death threats made against him.

Steuben: Please state your name for the court, sir.
Stukov: Radik Mikhail Stukov
Steuben: What was your official assignment during Mr. Killian's reign?
Stukov: I was the Commanding General for all Dominion army and air units.
Steuben: And who did you answer to?
Stukov: I answered to Taldor Valinus, who was led the Neo-Praetorian Guards and was the Supreme Commander of all Dominion Military Forces.
Steuben: So you didn't answer directly to Killian?
Stukov: Valinus' was Killian's proxy so to speak. Every order that Valinus gave was directly sanctioned by Killian, I'm sure of it.
Steuben: Why didn't you answer to Killian directly?
Stukov: Valinus and his band of Neo-Praetorians were Killian's own group of henchmen. He used Valinus to keep the military in line. The Neo-Praetorians were the elite of our military. They were like Hitler's SS divisions and Valinus was Heinrich Himmler.

Steuben: So you resented Killian's control of your military?
Stukov: Of course I did, he almost always circumvented my leadership. He had direct control over most of my troops.
Steuben: What did he order your troops to do?
Stukov: They were officially called "re-indoctrination" missions. We were to pacifiy the local population, by force if necessary.
Steuben: What were these "re-indoctrination" missions entail?
Stukov: Plain and simple...coercion and intimidation. Citizens who did not swear fealty to Killian were thrown into "re-education" camps. These camps were essentially torture facilities, where children as young as 5 were subjected to mental and physical torture in order to submit.

Steuben: What else happened there?
Stukov: There were organized mass rapes of women and young girls, in some cases even boys. Hundreds were maimed, fingers and feet dismembered. Countless others were executed by gassing and by firing squad.
Steuben: And you saw this first hand?
Stukov: I saw this with my very own eyes, my own soldiers were carrying out these atrocities.
Steuben: Why didn't you step in and stop them?
Stukov: I couldn't, if I spoke up, my life would be forfeit. I had my family to think about as well. If I exposed the truth, my wife and 2 daughters would suffer the consequence. Besides, Killian truly controlled my military.
Steuben: Thank you Mr. Stukov. No further questions Your Honors.

Ancient Races' Justice (Judge Hawk) is impressed by Von Steuben's line of questioning. There are still some important blanks that have to be filled by the prosecutor to convince Hawk though.. reasonable doubt has to be taken away.

I appreciate Justice Hawk's commendation of the Prosecution's performance thus far. But I assure all of the justices that our work has only yet begun and your inherent doubts concerning the case will all be lifted in due time.

The following is the official testimony of Omar Egrazi (a.k.a. Prisoner 32-C) who was held captive in the Dominion detention camp for 10 months during Nalid Killian's reign. He currently has a new identity supplied to him by the Witness Protection Program, due to several death threats made against him.

Stueben: Please state your name for the court please.
Egrazi: My name is Omar Ali Egrazi.
Steuben: Please state your official designation for 10 months.
Egrazi: Prisoner 32-C
Steuben: Where were you located during these 10 months?
Egrazi: The Valania Detention and Rehabiliation Facility.
Steuben: When were brought to this facility?
Egrazi: 2 weeks after Nalid Killian assumed power.
Steuben: Do you know of any reason as to why you were detained?
Egrazi: I did not swear fealty to Killian at a local propaganda rally.
Steuben: What happened after this particular rally?
Egrazi: Several agents from Lorien Zadar's Internal Security forces visited my house.
Steuben: And then what transpired?
Egrazi: They proceeded to tell me that I was to be "re-educated" and that I would learn to be more "patriotic". Subsequently, they shot my wife and son before my eyes.

Steuben: How did you react?
Egrazi: *breaks down* Like any father and husband would react. I grabbed one of their guns and shot one of the bastards....*sobs some more*
Steuben: And what happened after you shot one of the agents?
Egrazi: I was bludgeoned with a baton and I blacked out. When I came to, I was in the detention facility.
Steuben: How did they treat you inside the compound?
Egrazi: For what I estimated to be approximately two weeks, I was placed in solitary confinement, with 1 meal provided a week. I was subjected to cold showers, random beatings, and sleep deprivation tactics.

Steuben: This seems to be rather lenient discipline for someone who shot a Dominion agent.
Egrazi: Oh, they didn't stop there. I was routinely subjected to torture, with the rack where they stretched my body to ungodly proportions. I had my toenails slowly ripped off. My left eye was poked out with a hot metal pike. My ribs and arms were broken. My screams only spurred them on...those sadistic bastards! you killed my family, you son of a bitch! *pointing at Killian* I hope you rot in hell! *breaks down completely, sobbing*
Steuben: The Court asks that Mr. Egrazi be sent into counseling immediately, Your Honor. *turns to Egrazi* Thank you Mr. Egrazi, i know how hard this must be for you. Thank you for doing your duty to testify, your family would be proud. No further questions Your Honor.

The Federation of Pepestonia, speaking on behalf of the judges, would like to thank Omar Ali Egrazi for his valuable testimony.

Now, we have enough information to begin procesing a veredict.
Such resolution will be posted in the next days.

With the permision of Pepestonia, we will like to give our opinion : there are still several veredicts and evidence to show, will it be acurate to determine a veredict at this point?

Given the statements presented forth by Byzanthine, the court will continue to conduct this hearing.

Coronel Nicholaus Kristallis, prosecutor lawyer in representation of Byzanthine :

Kristallis : Since when?
Fatima : We were deployed on territory of the New Commonwealth shortly after the CCRC managed to send their first comunication to the region of balkans calling for assistance. We were on full alert by direct order of his majesty King Franciscus Reginaldus and the Prime Lord of the Almirantship Ramsus Markomanov as soon as Nallid Killian took power of goverment by the force.
Kristallis : Any specific reason of this suddendly action?

Kristallis : Did you find resistance from the dominion?
Fatima : We could maintain our arrival in secret until we rendenvouz with the CCRC. But thats when trouble began.
Kristallis : why?
Fatima : We arrived on the middle of a battle. Dominion troops were slaughtering the CCRC. We have to broke stealth and attack in order to allow the survivors and ourselves to scape. We managed to scape, but the leader of CCRC was captured, and...several....hundreds of my soldiers... died protecting us and the CCRC.........
Kristallis : Sorry about that. What happened then?
Fatima : We were preparing a rescue mission, but Killian when ahead of us. He execute the leader without any trial at all. A public execution.

Judge : Objection Rejected. Evidence L-8 is aproved.
Kristallis : Thanks, your honor. Coronel Fatima, stepping SpecOps mission details aside, i must ask : Did you, on any time during the war, personally saw any soldier or officer of the dominion performing any crime against humanity?
Fatima : Yes, i did. Always. The first time we acquired evidence of this, we were performing a recognizion mission on a small village, when a group of those barbarians arrived, and began their........their horrorifics acts.
Kristallis : Horrorific acts? Like the ones described by Radik Mikhail Stukov?
Fatima : Yes. All that so called ¨Re-education¨. I Call it Barbaristic Crimes. At first, there was just some beatings to the men of the village.... that we photographed, but when those bastards began to....those women.......it was too much and i gave the order.
Kristallis : Order?
Fatima : Attack. They where around 40 of them, they didnt have time to really do anything, but I should have gaved the order early.....but at least they couldnt go as far as the things we saw on others villages.......there we arrived too late....
Kristallis : They where all soldiers of the dominion?
Fatima : Yes. Uniformed and all. High officers were sometimes involved too.
Kristallis : Your honor, this photographs are evidence P-12a to P-32e, they are from several different locations, including the one mentioned by Coronel Fatima.
Judge : Any objections from the defense?
Defense Councel Gustav Lastrad : No, your honor.
Judge : Then the evidence is aproved.
Kristallis : Do you know Omar Egrazi?
Fatima : Yes. He was one of the rescued prisioners during our attack before the invasion of ¨Le Grand Armee¨ on Kristiana.
Kristallis : What type of prision was that?
Fatima : Prison? It was a Torture Center inside the main fortress. We found nothing but horror there. There were NC inhabitants that refused to swear loyal to Killian, and members of the CCRC and SpecOps captured, including Sergeant Sammuel Rhigas.
Kristallis : You honor, this is evidence B-09, a serie of documents and photographs taken from this fortress after the capture of the city of Kristiana, where is listed the people imprisioned in this facility, and the so called ¨sentence¨ applied to them. There is also mentioned orders regarding the called ¨Re-education.¨ and reports from members of SpecOps, including Coronel Fatima.
Judge : Any objections from the defense?
Defense Councel Gustav Lastrad : Yes, you honor. We demand that such papers be examined by us.
Judge : Objection sustained. Sheriff (handles the papers), pass these documents to the defense. Will the Prosecution ask more questions to the witness.
Kristallis : Your Honor, that will be all. Thanks Coronel.
Judge : Will the defense proceed to ask the witness?
Defense Councel Gustav Lastrad : You honor, we ask for a break to examine the documents B-09 before proceding to the questioning of the witness.
Judge : The court will then take a break of 20 minutes before continue the interrogation.

The New Commonwealth thanks Byzanthine for submitting their prosecution testimony. We hope that our prosecution has met our burden of proof. Consequently, we ask the justices whether enough evidence has been submitted thus far in order to begin developing a final verdict. If not, then the Prosecution will continue to call witnesses in order to do so.

Respectfully,
Frederick von Steuben
Chief Prosecutor, BICJ

Are there any official documents signed by leaders of the old regime, especially Killian, that the prosecution finds incriminating?

Is the prosecution going to submit such documents?

Yes, your honor. As explained during the interrogation performed to Coronel Michael of Fatima by my comrade, the Coronel Nicholaus Kristallis, they are documents signed by several high members of the former dominiuon goverment, including their leader Nallid Killian himself. The most significant document is a letter personally signed by Nallid Killian where he personally order the execution of the captured leader of the CCRC. Others documents are personnal diary files, reports performed by severals ¨tortute twigs¨, reports from generals of the dominion regarding several ¨Re'education programs¨, that basically where brutal threat and crimes performed against citizens opossed to the dominion and to maintain opression over the nation.

All this documents where presented during the interrogation to Coronel Fatima.

Yes, indeed. Thank you. I meant "are there any MORE documents", to be submitted by the New Commonwealth?

The Prosecution team is currently compiling a list of incriminating paper trails and written documents which should prove helpful to the case. This will be submitted to the Court within the next few days. After that has been accomplished, the Prosecution is planning to rest.
