The Aresuran government has authorized the acceptance of Engellpox refugees fleeing the Engell regimes to the island republic's territory. While admitting that it would be unlikely that any would be able to successfully escape the Thaumantic police states, a government spokeswoman emphasized that the move was "a sign of concrete solidarity with those persecuted for contracting a deadly disease, and other suffering from gross human rights violations. We are compelled to administer the medical care and humane care these individuals deserve".

Aresura, having originally suffered one of the most severe outbreaks of Engellpox in the Western Hemisphere outside of the Thumanticist countries with hundreds of confirmed cases, has been largely successful in dealing with the disease, with a domestically developed experimental vaccine being distributed to target groups within the country since . A dedicated treatment facility outside of the capital of Axiflos started operating in January.

President Breckenridge announced today at a security conference of Sylvanian defense concerns that the Continental Navy would be supporting the Free Navy of Pohjanmaa in freedom of navigation exercises within the confines of the Long sea. "We must make it abundantly clear that the free nations of the world will not abide monopolization of this important trade route. By conducting freedom of navigation exercises we are telling the imperialist rouges of this world that we will not stand for their games any longer. The DDI will continue to be a beacon to the world when it comes to the freedom of the seas." The President did not state how many ships or what types of ships would be committed to support of the DDI mission in the Long sea.

To whom it may concern,

The Pelasgian Empire is concerned at the recent militarisation of the Long Sea by nations outside of it. Such a grave militarisation of the area could disrupt shipping and, in fact, weaken freedom of navigation in the region; we therefore caution against it.

The Imperial Pelasgian Navy and the Port Corps will monitor external naval movements in the region, to ensure their compliance with international maritime law and the avoidance of any harassment of shipping in the region.

We are unaware to which rogues the President of @Sylvania is referring, though, if it is in reference to recent drilling efforts by Pelasgian Petroleum S.A., we wish to make it clear that Pelasgia is only claiming 200 nautical miles of an exclusive economic zone, as per jus cogens of international maritime law.

All ships, regardless of nationality, are still free to navigate through the Pelasgian EEZ, though we doubt many will, given its relatively small extent.

Signed and sealed,

Nikolaos Chrysopoulos
8th Count Chrysopoulos
HIM Foreign Minister

(Shinkyô) Sources close to the Central Opera suggest that a cabinet reshuffle is imminent in the Anti-State as Dictator Hayabusa continues to push forward ambitious reform goals in the wake of an uncovered plot that have also been met with opposition within the ranks of his inner circle. Our sources suggest the reshuffle will focus on security and foreign policy related portfolios.

(JUGOL) Large-scale deployments of Azraqi military personnel have been reported in towns, cities and other settlements across the northeastern Himyari empire, hours after it was revealed left-wing and nationalist politicians had been arrested in pre-dawn raids. Speculation is mounting Emperor Tiirka Illah is looking to seize absolute power and rule by decree indefinitely. Parliamentary democracy is currently suspended in Azraq after a third general election failed to deliver a decisive outcome, leaving the country without a functioning, democratically elected government for over a year.

More than five thousand believers are coming in a pilgrimage to Ahja, in the northern fringes of the Pohjamaad region, to visit the glade in which 80 years ago, a young reindeer shepherd had seen a Marian Apparition. The famous by now Ahja Apparitions have been recognised as veridic by the Tiburan Catholic Church in 1960, at the calls of the National-Syndicalist Regime. A second set of apparitions have been reported in the mid 60s by a priest who allegedly has stigmata too, but later an inquisitorial investigation from the Holy See has discovered that the second episode was all a hoax. The pilgrimage to Ahja, in the middle of the spring is one of the most important pilgrimages in Virumaa.

President Breckenridge was heard joking about the pointlessness of the Claret Sea Council in a hot mic situation at a meeting of state governors. "They founded it to fix a dispute with Montedoro, clearly another case of Pelasgia needing to be the center of attention. I mean, there are several different forums for discussing these disputes... World Permanent Conference, Long Sea Authority... hell even that new trade council the Fruilians created. It's a joke and the Gallian nations fall for it every time, it's quite pathetic. Now they are all trotting their foreign ministers out to defend the world's biggest crybaby anti-Semite nation there is. Here's a good joke, mention WZC loudly in a room full of people of different nationalities and you will soon know the Pelasgian by the high pitched whining over jews. (laughs)"

Protests ensue in Nqutu, in the Loda Chiefdom, close to the border with the Dune Sea, after one of the many refugees camped on the outskirts of the city has hit with a car a native resident and the ambulance needed more than three hours to arrive. Protesters state that they have been forgotten by the government in Camp Hill, after the war in Loago and the wave of economical refugees coming from Azraq, Dune Sea and Port Stanley have used the porous border along the Maloti Isthmus to come into Natal. The refugee camp in Nqutu already represents 30% of the small town's population. The local authorities from the Mbunda State and Loda Chiefdom have stated that anti-immigration and xenophobic rhetoric is at an all time high and fear that this might make the powder keg explode.

The Asterian Ministry of Justice announced it has made an arrest in a pedophile spree case which has rocked Asteria in recent weeks, and has congratulated participating agencies in their performance. The suspect, who has not yet been named, was arrested by the Red Guards Maritime Force upon attempting to flee the country by unregistered passenger shipping. Additional details will be released in the coming days.

SRC Asteria maintains one of the world's highest conviction rates for accusations of violent crime, and a prison system decried for its harsh treatment of prisoners. The suspect is believed to have perpetrated the rape of no less than four minors and one adult.

Dante Valeggio, a Retalian national and retiree visiting Asteria, has been named by the Asterian Ministry of Justice as the primary suspect in the rape of four minors and one adult, and has been brought before the public prosecutor to be informed of the charges pending. Detention for Valeggio has been set, with no chance for bail, and the public prosecutor will now open an investigation, permitting 10-20 days for the case to be brought before the courts.

If the case proceeds, Valeggio will face the severe court system of the Socialist Revolutionary Confederation, where suspects are not granted trial by jury, public defenders are not provided by the state, and conviction rates for violent crime exceed 95%. Confessions acquired during the investigative period account for 68% of all findings of guilt, though Asteria maintains a surprisingly low prison occupancy rate of 49/100,000. A panel of judges will preside, observed by a lay Committee of Investigative Witnesses, formed to observe the discretionary right of non-prosecution exercised by the public prosecutor.

The Consulate of Eiffelland-Retalia in Remuria stated that they were aware of the charges being raised. This case is among the first of its kind to be brought against a foreign national within SRC Asteria, and may be used by the government to set an example and warn future tourists against such actions.

Retalian National Police Service, the unified police service throughout the Retalian provinces of the Union State, has confirmed a steady pattern in Asterian citizens on visit to the country committing petty crimes and burglaries to earn short-term incarceration simple because, quote, "the monthly stipend in Retalian prisons is apparently higher than the average salary of an Asterian worker".

"You literally have folks committing offenses with minor economic damages and civil liabilities, yet falling into the field of incarceration, and a research we led shows that they do this on purpose. There is an organised ring advising these visitors on what exactly to commit to avoid damages and fines," a spokesman for the Retalian National Police Service stated. "So even after fines and compensatory damages are deducted from their stipends, they're still in a plus. This is not critical and our criminal justice system absorbs this, but we've anyway escalated this to Altburg and to Trier, as this is something for the civil authorities to handle and maybe prefer deportation to incarceration."

Retalia, being more prosperous than neighboring Asteria, yet culturally similar to the east of the communist nation, attracts a steady wave of economic migration and, apparently, also certain opportunists seeking to abuse the system.

When asked for a reaction on the current case against a presumed Retalian national Dante Valeggio, suspected of raping children in Asteria, our interlocutor within the Retalian National Police Service had this to say: "Remember when we still had the death penalty for this kind of things, even when our people perpetrated this in other countries? Yeah, well, that was cancelled by the Union. And I mean, even if it's not some piece of communist propaganda and an actual case with an actual perpetrator and actual victims, quite sad to see our neighbours becoming a hunting zone for predators, if they caught one, who knows how many more cases they had. An ugly situation, no matter how you turn it. But that's up to the Union to follow up on."

Ewing Polling Centers in Saint Theosburg are reporting majority disapproval for Ambrosia's military entanglement in the Silk Sea. Ranging from 68% among seniors, and 54% among young adults, President Robert Hirschfeld is struggling to convince Ambrosians that tampering down on Justosian "expansionism" is the responsibility of the Westernesse States, or even a serious threat to Europe at large. The Hirschfeld administration continues to stand by its decision to rapidly deploy troops to the Augustine Islands in response to the Justosian and DDI mobilizations in the region.

The investigation against Dante Valeggio, accused of the the rape of four children and one adult, continues as authorities have announced probable suspicion connecting Valeggio to a missing child, whose identity has been released to the public with the permission of the family. The Asterian Ministry of Justice is seeking victim information regarding the whereabouts of a boy, named Sidore Parnas, age 7, last seen in the Carcosan district of Gavoi on February 28, 2020.

Sidore Parnas was believed to have been abducted while busing home from school; an activity which Asterian children are often permitted to do in pairs, or on occasion alone, due to the low crime rates in the nation. Carcosan police are attempting to determine if Sidore was travelling home with another child at the time, and has moved to permit special investigative jurisdiction be granted to Confederal Security Bureau agents to expedite the collection of information from private and public entities.

The Asterian Ministry of Justice today announced that formal charges have been raised against Retalian citizen Dante Valeggio, and the date for prosecution has been set for May 16. Among 28 counts facing him, Valeggio is charged with four counts of sexual assault against a minor, one count of sexual assault and battery, two counts of sexual trafficking of a minor, and possession and intent to distribute child pornography. Valeggio has plead not guilty to all charges, and has been remanded without bail to Confederal Penitentiary at Carcosa until his trial.

The public prosecutor has conceded the missing persons case regarding missing Carcosan resident Sidore Parnas, age 7, to an ongoing Confederal investigation, removing it from the time constraints required to begin prosecution.

"Mr. Valeggio is charged with crimes considered unforgivable and despicable by both the People and God. The prosecution will pursue the most severe possible punishments available, so that he may not be free to commit such sins against others, and to secure the future safety of our most precious citizens," the public prosecutor, Giacomo Stornado, told media. "He will face God's law in time. Until then, the People's law will serve him justice here."
