President Hashempour Ousted by Shah
February 4488
President Nozar Hashempour was removed from power by Shah Shahrokh II due to the President's inability to stem religious fanaticism exhibited by Yazdist extremists. Last year, in 4487, a Yazdist militia attempted to occupy Kasād City in the southern Polran province. The militia managed to temporarily occupy the city council buildings but were quickly repelled by the military. Since then Pro-Shan factions and Pro-Magi (Yazdi priestly caste) factions have rioted, protested, and fought each other in Aldegarian streets. Hashempour's attempts to appease both camps seemed promising, but eventually failed to resolve the growing instability in the nation. As a result, Shah Shahrokh II has dissolved the Consultative Assembly and removed Nozar Hashempour from power. The Shah has appointed Nader Nouzari of the new, but popular, Democratic Farmer-Labor Party (DFLP) to the Presidency.
Nouzari Cracks Down on Magi
August 4488
Nouzari moves to forcibly crush Pro-Magi revolt by enacting the "National Security in Response to Religious Fanaticism Act" with approval from both the Shah and the Consultative Assembly. The new legislation would bring direct military involvement into the crisis as the national police have been unable to deal with the religious fanatics. The military has already arrested hundreds of Pro-Magi sympathizers and several of the movements leaders. Minister of Justice Benyamin Najafi said that many of those arrested would likely be tried for treason, a serious charge that could result in execution if they are found guilty. While the new legislation seems to have had the desired effect on the Pro-Magi movement, it has received significant criticism from international observers who say the law can be used to detain others in the name of "national security." Nouzari defended the bill as "necessary to stop the instability Aldegar and bring prosperity back to the nation by removing the cancerous elements of society."
