Special police force shot him down without warning in a nearby park 3 minutes later. "We know that his name was Amir Fayal, he was 22 years old and studied modern arts." said a police spokesman this morning. The motive of this horrible act is unclear.

President Ella Rosman will visit the site this afternoon. She ordered all flags flying half-mast.

Amongst those of our people who follow the [quite widespread] Ursion religion, yesterday was 'Ursiosmas' -- the feast-day commemorating the birth of Artos Ursios ("The Son of Bear"; "He died to save us all...") -- which is one of the holiest days in their calendar.

Today is the day on which all of the Clans (and other 'Confederated Bodys') announce whom they are sending as their representatives to the 'High Council of Clans' (i.e. the national government) for the forthcoming year, which starts -- according to the Gregorian calendar -- on 1st April.

Action 001- Execution on sight
Action 002- Only known as "Action 002", JOY unit did not elaborate, but presumably some form of torture.
Action 003- Reduction of food rations
Action 004- While techically called "Military Service" can be more accurately described as "Weapons testing guinea pig"

In other news...

[Coccygia]

The giant hagfish (Tyrannomucus rex) is perhaps Coccygia's most controversial animal species, as there is considerable doubt as to its very existence. No adult specimen has ever been found, and the only reported sightings of the creature come from the vicinity of Lake Sludge, reputed to be the home of the fearsome Lake Sludge monster, which some believe is, in fact, nothing more or less than the giant hagfish itself. Over 80 years of searching have failed to produce any definitive proof of the monster's existence, which has not prevented the tiny village of Dukipüdonktan, on the shores of the lake, from making the putative creature a highly successful source of tourist dumgs¹. (Dukipüdonktan is also notable as it is the only place in Coccygia where Koksizhien is still spoken, albeit only for tourists and for money.) Believers point to the fact that the waters of Lake Sludge are unusually thick and slimy, as though polluted with hagfish slime; critics point out that a more likely explanation is effluent from the SlumgCo Slumg² plant upriver on the Studge river, near the town of Filboid-On-Studge. In any case, Lake Sludge has always been not so much a lake as "a fetid, mosquito-infested, malaria-ridden swamp, inhabited mostly by undiscriminating frogs" as one popular tourist guide puts it; a characterization reflected in the lake's names in Lezans (Palùl Malaire) and Koksizhien (Maré Kipü). Dukipüdonktan's mayor, Remon Kno (whose niece, Zazi Dalmetro, is the current holder of the coveted Miss Lake Sludge title) had this to say about the controversy (in Koksizhien): "Vat ferfut, merdö."

¹ Coccygia's national currency.
² Coccygia's most popular soft drimk. "Slumg - for those who think youmg!"
