Lodamese opposition urges continuation of sanctions

Maintain the sanctions, pleads Linden


Ignatz Linden

Ignatz Linden, the newly-elected chairman of Lodamun's most outspoken opposition party, the Conservative Monarchist Alliance (CMA) mortified his political opponents in the Presidium yesterday by telling them that "in all honesty, I cannot in good conscience recommend to the nations of Terra that they should drop the sanctions against Lodamun". He continued:

President Gordon Fertig and his extreme nationalist supporters openly describe Hosians as sub-human and call for them to be persecuted. In recent years, he has proposed abolishing the very limited religious liberties our citizens still enjoy and removing the right to a fair trial. Very recently, he has successfully passed a Bill imposing severe media censorship and banning any criticism of the government in the press. Few can doubt that if he were able to, he would introduce much worse laws, returning us to the days when Hosians were being rounded up and executed by the police.

These are not considerations to be ignored, and I urge the international community to pay very, very close attention to the crisis in Lodamun as it is developing. The civilised world might have been justified in easing sanctions a few years ago, when we had a reformist government which was making limited progress towards civil rights, or was at least not intent on genocide against the Hosian population. Now, alas, the situation is very different. Removing this government from power is the only constructive way forward for Lodamun.
