I have been barred from posting everywhere on the forum except here. I have been told by a third party that I have been banished and that my trial has been processed without contacting me.

During this sequence of events:

1) I was never informed by the Conclave that it has unilaterally decided to process my case.

2) I was never informed by the Conclave that it had decided to ban me.

3) There was no explanation as to why now, of all times, the Conclave has decided to change their opinion without reflection on the law. I believe there may be political motivations - namely the court wants to limit access to the forum for the lead journalist of The Rejected Times.

I request immediately that the Conclave correct these oversights of due process.

As I have maintained, I will not attend any trial in The East Pacific until I am satisfied that I will receive due process. This unilateral behavior without even informing me is not convincing that The East Pacific has any fair intentions with my case.

I don't know why you didn't receive the correct information. Apparently, there are no clear arrangements between the Conclave and the Foreign Affairs Ministry as to who should inform diplomats who now reside outside of TEP. Allow me to correct that and supply you the right information. You're not actually completely banned, and your trial has not been continued.

As you will remember, you did not follow through with your trial, after which the Conclave was so kind as not to continue it in your absence, to allow you to mount a proper defence should you choose to return in the future. However, for leaving the region, they issued an arrest warrant for you to come back and face your trial. You've also seen this warrant.

The last month, the Conclave has reviewed, upon request, a question of law regarding the Concordat, Citizenship and the jurisdiction of the law over non-Citizens. As a result of it's verdict, your legal situation as a non-Citizen refusing trial has been further defined and the court rendered a decision, separate from your actual trial, based on your non-compliance with the Warrant. This decision recognizes your position as Diplomat, but restricts any other access to TEP as long as you don't comply with the Warrant.

You can find the necessary documents below:

Warrant of Arrest

Verdict on the Question of Jurisdiction

Procedural Decision by the Conclave in the Case of TEP v. Unibot


I will confer with my Ministry and the Conclave to avoid this lack of communication in the future, and make sure that verdicts are send to all parties involved.

Bachtendekuppen,
Delegate of TEP.

Given the fact that non-citizens can view any of these sections, what is the legal basis of removing my viewing privileges for any of these areas?

Likewise, the current restrictions disallow me from actually pursuing trial if I did wish to do so - I cannot post in the Conclave. The Conclave is the legal authority where I need to post to recommence a trial if I wished to acquiesce the Conclave's demands. This establishes a legal Catch-22.

Furthermore, I have stated time and time again that I will only acquiesce an arrest warrant when I am confident that the court will actually try me fairly (which this unilateral decision with a total breakdown of communication is not redeeming of). That will require me to follow, even participate as a legal refugee in the ongoings of the Magisterium and any potential legal reform (I understand legal reform is ongoing).

Will The East Pacific respect my nature as a refugee fleeing a court system that does not maintain due process or rule of law, or shall it try to shun any involvement I could have in legal reforms and in doing so, help keep labelled a "criminal" longer? Because as I understand the Conclave seems to consider me guilty before proven innocent, regardless of the Constitution.

I would ask you, as the delegate, but since you're also the state prosecutor, I can predict your natural answer. This is a sad, sad state of affairs.

Likewise, I still maintain that the purpose of this "legal question" and the unilateral changing of the terms of my arrest was for political reasons, not any legal function. With my posting limited, distribution of The Rejected Times can be restricted, in addition to several posts from me as of late which ran contrary to the government's (aka. my prosecutor - just to emphasis how backwards this system really is) partisan agenda.

The Hurricane, after spending half of his adult life in jail for crimes he did not commit, refused to wear a guilty's man clothes once put in jail once more - and I also refuse. These court proceedings have been an insult to the principles of justice and jurisprudence and smell of the sour odor of political corruption that lies right in the heart of the executive. I did not commit sedition and I did not break my Scarlet Oath.

I have been presumed guilty, before found innocent, for the restrictions on my forum privileges are that of a man found guilty. If I were to acquiesce your demands, I would slowly be tried in whatever means necessary by the prosecution and the Conclave (who are in cahoots with the prosecution, who is the executive) to continue these restrictions, regardless of fairness or right. That is the dark, seething nature of injustice and the partisan political animal.

I would invite you to read these latest decisions of the Conclave thoroughly, as most your concerns are addressed in the full text. Should you want to engage the Conclave, either in appealing the procedural decision or to continue your trial, the ruling specifically provides the instruction to contact the Viceroy to do so. This does not constitute a catch-22, as the Viceroy can decide to re-open the case or allow your appeal and provide you access to the court for these purposes.

Furthermore, the terms of your arrest warrant itself are not changed. The Conclave decided to enforce the warrant after the legal status of someone in your position was ruled upon and waiting some time for you to comply, which did not happen. I would like to note that none of these rulings were requested or initiated by proceedings of the prosecutor (me, which is perfectly normal) involved in the case TEP v. Unibot.


EDIT: Since some more comments were added while I had already finished my post, I would like to add that I'm disappointed to see you re-take the role and behaviour that brought you in to this position in the first place. Your opinions are yours to uphold, but I hope these statements are not made in your role as Delegate of The Rejected Realms, since they would mark an all-time low in relations between our two regions.

I think I've given you all necessary information to assess your legal situation and any questions you might have on this matter or appeals to be brought, can be heard by the Conclave.

I have been told that this decision began when the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Provost, Old Federalia contacted Aelitia upon his appointment and asked for greater restrictions on my viewing privileges with the hope of "flushing me out" like a rat, or, at the very least, reducing bad press on his administration.

Your legal readings appear to be just formalizations of these corrupt dealings. Corruption always leaves a paper trail.

I'm trying to be as forthcoming as I can by helping you get all information and rectify the earlier error of communication, I would appreciate it if we can do that in a civil manner.

Concerning the proceedings on jurisdictions, Old Federalia inquired for a review of the Concordat on this point, after the arrest warrant had been issued, before the full Conclave, as procedure then demanded. This is not abnormal, since the legal status of this warrant and of a person leaving TEP while being on trial had never been ruled upon before and was not exactly clear.

Anything else is your own fantasy I'm afraid.

Uni, are the complex words used in the rulings straining your brain overmuch?

Hey Commodus, Caligula wants his Fruit Loops back. You do not get to participate in the Magisterium or change laws if you are a fugitive. You were presented multiple chances to participate, you didn't. The CITIZENS of TEP requested resolution because we're sick of the paranoid victim blather. Next time, spend less time trying to juke, jive, and out maneuver the system; you look like an idiot and ran yourself into a wall.

Nice to know that I am "straining my brain", "an idiot" and a "fugitive". Thanks - really helpful.

I guess I'll chime in, but not in the above fashion. A few months ago an arrest warrant was drawn up. It looks like now that the conclave believes a) ample time has been given for the accused to attend trial b) it's time to do something about that. Anything else is hearsay. There's been a regime change in the Conclave, and obviously this regime wanted to take a firm stance. That's fine.

I'll preface by saying I'm no longer a member of the conclave. I don't speak for foreign policies here, cause that's the delegate's job. I do stand by my region, but I don't see this discussion really solving anything. And it looks like for things to improve (at least, based on what I see), Unibot should stand trial and the Conclave should offer a trial without bias. If no trial is to be had, then we're kind of done here. That's at least how I see it.

The claim of an unfair trial in TEP is unfounded. TEP's conclave has held trials and resolutions that were contrary to the popular will of the people. The body has integrity, the same as most other courts around the big NS regions. And, when we include all other regions, I mean heck even JAL was found not guilty in TNP for the coups that occurred. So it's not like there's a witch hunt here. From what I've seen posted, the region has legit beefs.
