Jiuseppe Cospájio convicted of High Treason!

Article by Frėja-Astrïed Lindaukwist

Today, at the Küserlijke Rechtskebøjwe, by the Order of His Excellency, Lord Chief Judge Chōhei Nyakamūra, Jiuseppe Cospájio was convicted of High Treason. Cospájio was arrested last week in Ouwagi, after it was discovered he was fighting on the side of the Ouwagi Republican Army, opposing the Krïdan backed-Ouwagi National Army. Due to the fact that he is a Krïdan citizen, fighting against His Imperial Majesty's Armed Forces, he has committed treason against not only the Imperial Crown but against the Krïdan Empire.

Cospájio left Krjder two years ago for Ouwagi, having left the army, where he had served in the 5th Skirmisher Regiment for five years as a junior NCO. Family and friends said he was going to do charity work and 'soul-finding' whilst out there. Back in November 2014, however, civil war broke out in the oil rich state, fuelled by republicans, opposing the rule of Sheikh Qimaal. Krïdan interests in the region prompted the government to send in troops, mostly to secure oil fields and ports. Last week, following the battle of Diwaaîsh, Warrant Officer Racław Kowiąćųński of the 12 Airborne Cavalry Regiment prised open the smouldering wreckage of a BTR-80, routinely checking for survivors, came across the injured Cospájio.

Cospájio was interrogated by Imperial Military Constabulary, an interrogation during which he admitted having fought with the the ONA as a mercenary. He was flown to Krjder on Tuesday to a military court in Haawel which then sent him to Aastejk to be tried by the State. He was convicted this afternoon and has been given the death sentence. He will be executed by firing squad tomorrow morning at dawn. Cospájio is the 226th person to be given the death sentence this year, a statistic which is becoming a topical debate in Krïdan politics.

His Imperial Majesty's Minister of Justice, Takahyirō Yuudaiī said that it was 'regrettable indeed someone has betrayed us, but he has received the prize he deserved for his treacherous schemes against Emperor and Fatherland."

226 people this year! As much as I support our justice system, I hope he is the last this year. Still, he is a traitor and deserves to be shot.

Not sure what to make of this... If he was fighting against us through and through, fine, he is a traitor and should be shot. However, is fighting against our foreign policy (admittedly oil-driven) treason?

Do people not have the freedom to oppose our imperialist government? I can sit here at my keyboard and type what I like about the government, but of I take up arms against it, I'm suddenly a traitor? This is just sick. Either send me to the gallows or abolish treason as a crime. It's outdated anyway.

Wießedrecht Jail, Zėedähl Province
Grand Duchy of Könjinslargen, Krïdan Empire
07:30, Saturday 13 December 2015

Sergeant Treichker's boots crunched in the stiff snow as he approached the courtyard. Behind him followed Father Zwibbedorf, a bible pressed tightly to his chest. Assembled in the courtyard were eight constables, clad in their green winter jackets with their brown beaver fur trim. On rank of four knelt, the other stood behind, the butts of the rifles nestled in the snow. A single raven cawed from the watch tower. Up against a sand wall stood Jiuseppe Cospájio, in an orange jumpsuit. He was blindfolded and visibly shivering. Treichker approached the left flank of the firing squad and checked they were all in line. He turned to the quaking figure of Cospájio.
"Any last wishes? I have a man of the book here, if that's your thing." Treichker hollered, unceremoniously.
Cospájio grunted, shaking his head.
"Good, I wasn't going to grant them anyway. It's far too cold out here to be lingering." He turned on his heel to face down the two lines of constables.
"Squad will, with a magazine of two rounds, load!"
Like robots, the took a magazine from the jacket pockets and fitted it under the chamber of their rifles with a satisfying click.
"Present arms!"
The squad lifted their rifles up to breast height, digging the butt into their shoulders.
"Prepare to fire!"
Eight rifles suddenly had their working parts drawn backwards, before being slammed forward by the bolt, chambering a round.
"Take aim!"
The squad took Cospájio in their red-dot sights, each red dot over his heart.
"Fire!"
A short burst of gunfire caused Cospájio's chest to rupture with several bloodied entry-points. He slumped to the floor. Father Zwibbedorf made the sign of the cross, before heading indoors. Treichker stared at the body face down in the crimson-stained snow. He grunted dispassionately before announcing that he needed a coffee.

Krïdan Government Executes 226th Person This Year

Experts Claim Capital Punishment is Not a Deterrent, and Only Brutalised the General Population

Monday 14/12/2015 | Commonwealth City, United Ardokian Commonwealth

Director-President Alistair Moriarty argues that this type of repression is typical of an authoritarian government.

While thankfully capital punishment was abolished in Ardoki a long time ago, this is not the case for many countries in the world. The Krïdan Empire has gained an infamous reputation internationally, particularly for its harsh government polices influenced by conservatism. If you glance over the genocide and apartheid, the excessive use of the death penalty certainly appears prominent. Just a few days ago, Jiuseppe Cospájio became the 226th person to be executed in Krjder this year. The two-hundred-and-twenty-sixth! That is an execution rate countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea would have trouble matching. But what's undoubtedly worse, is that this man was executed the day after his conviction. He was refused the opportunity to appeal his conviction, the appeals process is a recognised human right respected by some of the worlds more authoritarian countries. Yet Krjder, a member of the International Freedom Coalition, just executed people a day after conviction. Apparently that is a policy the IFC seems to support, so much for their claims of defending freedom.

Some of you must be thinking that this man must have done something unspeakably horrendous, in order to warrant such an inhumane sentence and a denial of human rights. Well, he was charged and convicted with high treason; a very vague-sounding charge which could mean many things of a varying range of severity. Some states charge people with high treason, just for not blindly supporting a leader. So a charge of high treason in on itself does not necessarily warrant such harsh measures by the Krïdan judiciary. However in civilised and humane countries, such as Ardoki, not even the worst crime imaginable would warrant the death penalty and the lack of appeals.

However if you look deeper into the case, you'll find out that Jiuseppe Cospájio was merely guilty of fighting with the Ouwagi Republican Army; against the oppressive Ouwagi National Army of the corrupt and oppressive Krïdan-backed monarch Sheikh Qimaal. Mr Cospájio was simply fighting with freedom fighters, against an oppressive and kleptocratic monarchy. However since Krjder is a neo-colonialist power which seeks to subjugate and exploit developing countries for cheap resources and labour, propping up loyal autocrats worldwide, this meant Cospájio was fighting against Krïdan interests. However the charges of high treason are absolute ridiculous, and are only telling of an authoritarian state acting in its typical repressive manner.

Director-President Alistair Moriarty described the actions of the Krïdan state as demonstrating to the entire world the true nature of their oppressive monarchical system which despite superficial appearances is structurally similar to an absolute monarchy, arguing that this pattern of severe and increasing repression against those who question the legitimacy of autocracy and publicly support democracy is typical behaviour of every other authoritarian state. Moriarty also called on the International Freedom Coalition to move against Krjder, which many see as a rouge member of the IFC, and to bring it into line with their self-proclaimed values of freedom of democracy lest they with to appear hypocritical or disingenuous.
