Twenty-three men and women were lined up just above the steps of the Supreme Imperial Procuratorate Building in Imperial City, kneeling down on their knees they could see a fall of at least fifty metres. At the bottom of the steps were national media, with their cameras rolling and their reporters preparing to go live, and imperial citizens who came to watch the spectacle of the executions of fascist traitors, separated from the steps by units of the Imperial Army Guards. These twenty-three men and women had been found guilty of numerous horrendous crimes against the God-Emperor and the State. They ranged from High Treason, Reactionary Activity, Hate Speech,Incitement to Hatred, Weapons Violations and Conspiracy to Commit Terrorism. Known as the SACTO 23, they had secretly engaged in an underground organisations which supported SACTO and opposed the Imperial Government. They had printed pamphlets, made illegal weapons, practised christianity, and attempted to spread their ideas to others. That was their downfall, they misjudged the character of one of their potential converts. The IMCOR Security Division put them under surveillance, and four days ago arrested them all in midnight raids. They were found guilty of their crimes by a panel of five judges unanimously yesterday, and would now pay for their crimes against humanity. Part of the damning evidence, was revelations that they intended to carry out a terrorist attack in Imperial City in the name of SACTO, that was what gave them the penalty of death.
Supreme Imperial Procurator, Christabelle Nixon, stood at the top of the steps. Behind the prisoners were more units of the Imperial Army Guards, one for every prisoner, holding a white handgun at the heads of the prisoners. She read out the charges, and read a patriotic speech in which she condemned SACTO as racist terrorists.
Then she said "In the Name of His Divine Imperial and Royal Majesty, the God-Emperor. I sentence you to death, for your crimes against His Divine Imperial and Royal Majesty and the Greater Empire of All the Ardokians."
The soldiers then each unloaded a single bullet into the prisoners heads, they lunged forward from the impact and fell down the stairs to the concrete below. It was caught live on national television, and would undoubtedly make its way internationally. Opinion polls in Ardoki put over 90% of the population in support of the executions, mainly due to their extreme hate of SACTO and love of the Imperial Government. However the real reason for this public display of brutality, was to scare and intimidate other SACTO terrorists in the Greater Empire. There was undoubtedly more in Ardoki, hopefully this act would force them to cease their activities and go into hiding.
