Tannenberg war crimes Tribunals.

Malecia seconds echoes the sentiments of Kannex and asks: "How many of the untried will be holding posts in the diplomatic corps? Malecia will not recognize an ambassador who had anything at all to do with the bombing and the taking of innocent life."

Malecian operatives surround the delegations from Kannex and Malecia, coordinating with their Kannexian counterparts. The chief of security for the Kannexian delegation motions to all personnel to escort both observers out.

Outside the court house, a Malecian limousine pulls up. The doors open as the Kannexian guards rush the emissaries into the car. The chief pounds the roof twice and the Malecian driver speeds off as Tanneberg security forces arrive from the opposite direction.

Kevin Halloran, the Malecian observer, looks at the situation over his shoulder as the car pulls away. Seeing the pandemonium spill into the street, he remarks, "This isn't going to get any better. I may have to recommend that Malecia withdraw our delegation until this place stabilizes itself.

"By the way, you're chief of security is very capable. It was his coordination that led our security team to cooperate. We want to reciprocate the favor. We have excellent intelligence capabilities in Tanneberg. Is there anything Kannex needs in the way of information?"

"We will of course transmit the list to you immediately. As for publication, I am authorized to make a statement that Malecia supplied the list to the Principality. But I think that the Prince's influence is stronger. Publication of the list by Kannex with Malecia as the authoring party may indeed force Tannenberg to rethink its position on the regional stage? Would you concur?"

Major General Adolf de Trotha Xana has given orders for riot troops to restore order.

Meanwhile Mortimer Harren leader of the rebellion has made a statement.
Today is proof that elements of the Imperial goverment are trying to cover there own and whitewash history.
What about the Imperial Goverments war crimes, the mass killings, the internment camps, as well the Political corruption.
Mark my words, the civil war will be renewed and this time we will avenge are selfs on the rump state of tannenberg and its Kannex and Malecia dogs.
I am giving them 24hours to leave or both states will be smash into dust by nuclear weapons.

Within a hour of Mortimer Harren making that statement, he was located by goverment Security forces and killed with nine of his followers in a shoot out.
Goverment troops quickly detain all former rebel commanders and leaders.
And disarm all rebel troops currently serving in the Military.

President Lisa Méndez made a statement, "Everything is under control.
None of the ambassadors sent Kannex or Malecia have any links with the bombing and the taking of innocent life.
I beg Malecia to drop this matter and am willing to send there service records to prove there innocent of any wrong doing".

Kannex is deeply grateful that peace is being restored and Tannenberg is recovering from the rebellion. The Kannexian Ministry of Defense publishes a list of 126 war criminals that had not been brought to trial. Meanwhile, Kannex pressures Tannenberg to release 83 wrongly-accused defendants. The war crimes allegedly committed by the former Imperial government is also brought to attention.

Robban Blakez, the Kanenxian Federal Police Director, sends a secret message to the President.
"Our government believes 34 remnants of the former Nuuwaja Dynasty and 41 members of the Malecian Union Party are hiding in the mansion of Oberst Wilhelm Riegert, an alleged war criminal. What or when the connection between these villainous groups began we do not know, but our intelligence sources confirms they may be hiding at this address in the Tannenberg capital: ... We hope this international crime case is quickly resolved."

Robban Blakez asks that the Tannenberg government issue warrants for the arrests of the 75 remnants. If the Tannenberg police is unable to do this, the KFP and the Kannexian Marines ask permission to storm the mansion with a joint Kannexian-Malecian task-force.

Tannenberg Security forces and two Commando Security Squads supported by troops from the local garrison which surrounded the area quickly stormed the building.
First killing the power and then blew the doors in with entry charges, lobbing in flash-bang grenades to stun the people inside, while another Commando squad came through the ceiling.

The mission to capture the 75 remnants was a total success with no casualties.

The 34 remnants of the former Nuuwaja Dynasty and 41 members of the Malecian Union Party where quickly handed over to the Kannex and Malecia goverments.

President Lisa Méndez made a statement, the 5 most notorius war criminals will be made to stand trial.
A civilan commission will look over past war crimes committed by the Imperial State.

We would be happy to show are allies the military archives.

As for King Tshaka, the native leader responsible for the death of Robert John Wilkes.
We have no power to punish him as his state no longer under tannenberg control.

Kannex thanks Greater New Tannenberg for its cooperation in rooting out the terrorist organizations. The 34 remnants of the Nuuwaja have been put on trial. Only 16 are found guilty of terrorist activities and sent to prison and reeducation programs for 20 years.
Meanwhile, the imperial family and the former Nuuwaja child emperor, now a young man, is placed under house arrest. This sentence is later relaxed, although his visa is confiscated and a 13 Royals guard is assigned to him wherever he goes. The rest are released and are free to live out their lives in freedom.

Meanwhile, the Greater New Tannenberg War Crimes Tribunal trials are continued, this time with more security guards.

Wilhelm Beorghyll, the Director of KRIS (Kannexian Royal Intelligence Service), requests permission to examine military records and present them to the Tribunal if necessary.

The KRIS concludes that the Tannenberg Ambassador to Malecia, Adolph Reinfeldt, did not commit any war crimes. It concludes Malecia mistakes him for Adolf Reinfeldt, which was a colonel in the rebel army. Adolf Reinfeldt is currently under arrest by the Tannenberg government as part of the purge.
Meanwhile, the KRIS finds some rebel connections to the Nuuwaja Dynasty.

Reporters are not allowed in the tribunals, in case a riot occurs. The judges are the Duellion Azgo (Kannexian Chief Justice), Daithi Wodanaz (Kannexian Attorney General), Kurt Von Koenig (Tannenberg Justice Minister), Emily Klingemann (Tannenberg Supreme Court Justice), Paul Kessler (Tannenberg Supreme Court Justice), Mary Becker (Commeford Provincial Judge of Malecia), and Martin Cosgrove (Malecian Provincial Judge in Upper Milling).

((OoC: You can name the judges of your country whatever you want.))

The tribunal is expected to take about a year.

((OoC: I have updated.))

Malecian Central Intelligence Service Director Robert Kane verifies the findings of KRIS and concludes it's investigation. Mr. Kane asks to examine the grounds/ buildings where the Malecian mission will be working. He also conveys a request from the Secretary to obtain local assistance in finding permanent housing ro rent or sale. This will be necessary for the 150+ Malecians who will be staffing the embassy.

The trial of Rudolf Bankmann begins as a bald man is hauled in the courtroom. He glares the judges and jury boldly.
"General Rudolf Bankmann of the Four-Nation Rebel Alliance. You are accused of genocide, and the torture and killing of war prisoners. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty."

Tannenberg War Crimes Tribunal to include two judges from Malecia

by Michelle March, Post Correspondent

Shiloh

Secretary Louise Cross announced today that Malecia will be dispatching two judges to hear cases in the Tannenberg War Crimes tribunals set to get underway this week in Greater New Tanneberg. The Secretary has announced that Mary Beck, a former Provincial Court judge from Commeford Province, and Michael Cosgrove, a retired Provincial Court judge from Milling, will be leaving today for New Tanneberg.

Judge Beck had just been named as a federal district judge in the Malecia District Court for the District of Southern Upper Milling. The appointment was the result of the newly created federal court system which was established with passage of the Malecia Judiciary Act of 2010. Judge Beck had previously worked as a prosecutor for Essex county in Milling. She is a graduate of Themis Hall Law School at the University of South Myrker.

Judge Cosgrove is a graduate of the Malecia Air Force Academy, and a former Judge Advocate General. He is also a former Provincial Court judge, having served on the bench of Wellsfield County in Commeford. Judge Cosgrove is a graduate of St. Alban's Law School at St. Alban's University in Northern Kalenviut Province.

Although the selection of both jurists has been met with acclaim from across Malecia, the tribunal itself is not without controvrsey.
Many are unsatisfied over the fact that the tribunal is providing no avenue for the prosecution of tribal leaders who were openly responsible for the death of Robert John Wilkes.

Mr. Wilkes had been dispatched to one of Tannenberg's colonies to attempt to negotiate a peaceful end to the rebellion. He was killed and canabalized by the tribal leaders. Sources close to the Ennis Administration say that if it were not for the diplomatic efforts of the High Prince of Kannex, the President may have launched a devastating attack with thermobaric warhead equipped missiles from Malecian submarines.

However, the President issued a statement in which he fully supports the efforts of Greater New Tannenberg. He pointed out that Tannenberg has extradited 41 former members of the Malecia Union Party. Those former members are being detained and question by federal authorities for their roles in several recent incidents including the recent assassination attempt on President Ennis at the Civil War memorial.

The tribunals are closed to the press, but it is expected that the Tannenberg government will provide summaries of the proceedings on a daily basis.

RE: King Tshaka
Contact: Joanne Eldridge, Attorney General, Republic of Malecia



A warrant signed by the Malecia Magistrate for Shiloh, District of Malecia, has been issued for the arrest of King Tshaka for the murder of Robert John Wilkes. Mr. Wilkes was dispatched as an emissary to secure peace during the recent rebellion in Greater New Tanneberg.

Malecia thus asks for the cooperation of President Mendez and her government in the apprehension and extradition of King Tshaka to Malecia, where he will stand trial for murder and for violation of the rights granted to Mr. Wilkes under the treaties regarding peace envoys.

The King will be charged with violating Title 48, Chapter 2 of the Malecian Criminal Code: Murder of a Malecian National engaged in authorized diplomatic negotiations.

If found guilty, the King faces punishment that authorizes death by lethal injection.
