Doctors located at the embassy examined Mr Chen as soon as he abruptly entered the embassy. They have only given brief details about Mr Chen's medical condition in that he is slightly emaciated and unkempt in appearance since his escape but is otherwise healthy with no severe ailments. Mr Chen has remained inside the Dannistrian embassy in central Pyongjing since the early hours of Sunday. He is currently facing additional charges for escaping house arrest in addition to releasing unathourised documents which carries a life imprisonment. President Im has rejected any requests for concessions or pardons from the public or from Mr Chen himself, citing rule of law is essential to a healthy democratic Bai Lung.

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() Dannistrian embassy rejects Chen Guolong's asylum request; hands him to police. The Dannistrian embassy has turned down a request from blind activist and lawyer Chen Guolong to seek asylum in Dannistaan and has formally handed him over to the police after a 3 day standoff between him and the police. The Dannistrian Ambassador to Bai Lung, Matthew Gah'tehs explains his reason for letting go Mr Chen instead of offering him asylum to Dannistaan.
The 42 year old democracy activist had escaped from house arrest last week after it was emerged that he was posting online documents of alleged corrupt activities within the Im administration and is currently facing charges of treason. Mr Chen has alway denied any charges of treason and has claimed that the documents showing corrupt activities from President Im are hardened facts. Many commentators, especially conservative pundits, speculate that Mr Chen's sudden appearance at the Dannistrian embassy served as a political wedge between Bai Lungese-Dannistrian relations. Some went as far as to claim that President Im is using Mr Chen as a pawn to initiate war against Dannistaan. Mr Chen will be held under house arrest at his home in Eastern Pyongjing with increased security. |

![]() What you did know this week! Presidential hopeful C.Y Liang is a member of the Ancient and Accepted Bai Lungese Rite of Freemasonary. If elected, Mr Liang would be the first Bai Lungese president to be a member of the Freemasons. Popular to contrary, none of the previous Presidents or Interim Administrators are members of any Freemason societies. Current President Im generates the most debate on whether he is a Freemason or not (This is not true). |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() BREAKING NEWS: Dong Men bomber dies. ![]() Ardbeldaset Koskov Eul-Murgraii, one of two people convicted over the 1988 Dong Men bombing above the Bai Lungese mainland which killed 270 people, has died in his home in Uzbari. Eul-Murgraii was given a show trial by the then-ruling Stalinist Chen Jong Sun regime where he was given life imprisonment instead of the death penalty. His life imprisonment served as a poster boy for any ethnic Kashgar who would defy the ruling Bai Lungese Communist state. He has always denied all charges. However, he was freed from Pyongjing in 2009 on compassionate grounds because of cancer, stirring controversy when he outlived doctors' expectations. Eul-Murgraii's release sparked huge controversy and criticism especially from relatives of the victims of the Dong Men bombing. However, Jeremiah Liu, who lost his daughter in the bombing, believes that Eul-Murgraii did not committ the act.
His brother, Sergei, on Sunday that Eul-Murgraii's health had deteriorated quickly and he died at home in Uzbari. He told the local Kashgar media that his brother died at 13:00 local time. He also told that his funeral would be held on Tuesday, following a day of mourning. Eul-Murgraii', a Kashgar civil engineer, always denied any responsibility for the bombing of BL Flight 103 in December 1988. It is one of the deadliest terrorist incidents ever to have taken place on Bai Lungese soil. All 259 people aboard the plane, which was travelling from New Xinjiang to Pyongjing, were killed, along with 11 others on the ground. Investigators tracing the origins of scraps of clothes wrapped around the bomb followed a trail to a shop in Uzbari which led them, eventually, to Eul-Murgraii. He and another Kashgar, Demetrey Gadaffov, were indicted by the Stalinist regime in January 1991. A show trial happened on February 1991. Gaddaffov was sentenced to death while Eul-Murgraii was given a life sentence. Gaddaffov was executed 2 hours after the trial. Mr Eul-Murgraii has spent a total of 18 years in the high security Huo Sing Prison. Since the fall of the Stalinist regime in 2007, Eul-Murgraii has made two appeals. One in late 2007 and a second one in 2008, Eul-Murgraii dropped the 2nd case, 2 days before he was released. Supoorimat Barkediev, the Kashgar spiritual leader, spoke positively of the Dong Men bombing, calling him a hero.
Eul-Murgraii's death has sparked debate whether blind activist Chen Guolong should be released from house arrest on compassionate grounds. Mr Chen's 70 year old uncle is currently suffering from terminal lung cancer and is expected to live shorter than 3 months. President Im has been criticised by critics, especially from the left, of double standards for releasing Eul-Murgraii on compassionate ground but not releasing Mr Chen for the very same reasons. President Im has strongly defended the move, citing a need for case by case basis.

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() Kashgar spiritual leader wins election. Current Kashgar spiritual leader Supoorimat Barkediev has been re-elected as leader of the Kashgar people in a hotly contested fight between him and opponent Boreesh Korbachiv. The spiritual leader election is officially non-partisan and ethnic Kashgar simply cast their votes based on the candidate's political positions. Mr Korbachiv spent the past 5 months lambasting Mr Barkediev as being too moderate in his stance against the Bai Lungese 'occupiers'. He even went as far as to call Mr Barkediev a 'Bai Lungese in all but name'.
However, Mr Barkediev hit back at the claims that he is not hard enough on the Bai Lungese occupiers, linking him as a useful idiot to the Im administration. In the end, Mr Barkediev received 56% of the votes compared to Mr Korbachiv's 44%. This is in contrast to predecessor's Tentsin Farabhazi's landslide victory of 89%-11% back in 2008. Mr Barkediev thanked his opponent for his 'hard work', as well as dedicating his win to the late Dong Men bomber Ardbeldaset Koskov Eul-Murgraii. The Im administration declined to comment on the matter. |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() Dong Men bomber funeral held. Dong Men bomber Ardbeldaset Koskov Eul-Murgraii has been buried in a private ceremony in a Northern suburb of Uzbari. Eul-Murgraii, one of two persons convicted over the 1988 bombing above Bai Lung Dalu which killed 270 people, died at his home in Uzbari on Sunday. He was convicted by the Stalinist regime in 1991. He was freed from jail in 2009 on compassionate grounds as he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Officials in the mainland says Eul-Murgraii's body was transferred discreetly in an ambulance to the burial site, followed by a convoy of male relatives close behind. The funeral was very much a private family affair and took place in the suburb of Shiaberia, where many other members of his family lay buried. The family of Eul-Murgraii told Bai Lungese media to leave them alone and denouncing them as 'Big Brother occupiers'. There were some minor scuffles between his family and Bai Lungese passers-by, calling Eul-Murgraii's family 'bird loving scum'. "His pain is over now - he is with Bishkeck," said his brother Sergei to the Kashgar local media. |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() Im government to ease mainland restrictions. The President Im administration have unveiled plans to lift some existing restrictions imposed on the mainland related to the Listonia conflict. The Bai Lung Border Act 2009 (Revised December 2009) was a response to the Listonia conflict which erupted in early 2009. Since then, the Im administration has taken careful steps to look after residents in the mainland. However, due to heavy opposition, some of the unpopular provisions had to be scaled back in the December 2009 revision such as allowing 5 planes to the mainland a day and business hours closing by 1 hour. Pro-business think tanks are calling for unrestricted business hours, claiming it would add $BL1,900 per day in every small business. The proposed Bai Lung Mainland Borders Act 2012 contains some of the following:
The revised law has wide range support from Conservative, Labour and Marxist politicians, Prime Minister Lin and even President Im himself. Prime Minister Lin has told reporters that the proposals would passed easily in both chambers of the assembly by the end of July and become law by the end of August. Despite the wide support for the law, some Labour MLAs are showing signs of disaffection for the law, notably Presidential candidate Berty He.

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() President Im dismisses Smyth era Nahrin wrist watch reclaimed by Nahrin state. President Im has downplayed any claims that the Nahrin state has reclaimed a Smyth era wrist watch after Nahrin Union police raided a smuggling den in Sara Autonomous County, North West Nahrin Union. According to state media, the watch was found alongside several other collections of counterfeit watches, jewellery and other illicit substances such as cocaine and heroin. The Nahrin Union was ruled previously by General Theodore Smyth who was considered by the international community to be a brutal tyrannt. His regime in the 50's ruled concurrently with the ruling Bai Lungese Nationalist Junta. As a goodwill gesture, General Smyth bestowed the generals a 20 carat gold wrist watch in support of their regime. In 1962, however, revolutionary Chen Jong Sun overthrew the Nationalist regime and established a People's Republic of Bai Lung. He cut off all links with General Smyth and sezied the wrist watch, and declaring it to be the 'people's watch'. President Im held a press conference outside of the Presidential Office Building before 200 reporters rejecting claims that the 1955 era timepiece has been successfully returned to the Nahrin Union. He has confirmed the watch is currently being stored at a national archive in Bai Lung. Showing a presentation Power Point, President Im showed key comparisons between the real watch and the one shown on state tv, which he claims is a counterfeit.
One reporter asked President Im which national archive in Bai Lung holds the watch. The President declined to answer the question, citing security concerns. |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() President Im calls for tougher sanctions on Nahrin Union after holding counter press conference. President Im has warned the Nahrin Union to admit to international media that the recently seized 1955 era timepiece, is simply a fake designed to mislead Bai Lungese and Nahrin citizens or face tougher sanctions. Yesterday, the President has accused Prime Minister Kenny Cuthbert of promoting 'militant jingoism', a stance re-affirmed by the President. The watch was found on Wednesday after the Nahrin Union Police raided a drug den and found several jewellery and various drugs. Yesterday, the President held a press conference claiming the watch seized by the Nahrin government is a fake. Today, the Nahrin government has hit back at the Im administration by holding a counter conference, officially declaring the watch seized by the Nahrin police is the geniune article. President Im responded to the counter claims by broadcasting a special message to the nation, calling for Prime Minister Cuthbert to withdraw the statements, apologise to his nation for the falsehoods and resign from office or face a series of tougher sanctions including banning all Bai Lungese companies from doing any trade with the Nahrin Union. Current sanctions only ban 50% of Bai Lungese companies including most banks and oil companies. Some Conservative MLAs, including outspoken backbencher Darrell Ai Sha, has vociferously accused Im of giving back the watch to the Nahrin government through backroom deals in exchange for more favourable treatment towards him, and using yesterdays conference to cover up the truth. He even went as far as to compare President Im to that of disgraced British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() BREAKING NEWS: Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha calls for President Im to turn up before Grand Committee. The outspoken and highly controversial Conservative MLA backbencher Darrell Ai Sha has called for President Im to appear before the Grand Committee surrounding his handling of the missing Smyth era timepiece. It was emerged on Wednesday that the Nahrin Union made 1955 watch was found on Nahrinese soil and has since been reclaimed by the Nahrinese state. Both Bai Lungese and Nahrinese government engaged in a war of words, both claiming that they had the real watch and accused each other of possessing a counterfeit version. Mr Ai Sha, an ardent critic of President Im since he took power as interim admin in March 2008, has made headline news when he set up a website called Imwatch.bl in July 2009, which monitors suspected corrupt activities of the Im administration. In August 2009, he controversially called President Im the 'Most corrupt, divisive and extreme leader since Chen Jong Sun.', a claim backed by the then-Conservative leader Stephen T. Ding. However, in March 2011, Mr Ai Sha was asked by current Conservative leader and Prime Minister Lin to apologise for his statements. Mr Ai Sha has since explained that his choice of words to describe President Im was over the top, but has maintained the crucial points of his argument in that President Im's policies are wrong for the country. Some have speculated that Mr Ai Sha's animosity towards Im might have started when both attended Dannistra Onn University in 1977. Some of the most controversial claims made by Mr Ai Sha include:
The Grand Committee is a committee made up of the entire legislative members from both chambers of the assembly and is only used in the most exceptional circumstances relating to misconduct or national emergencies. The Grand Committee maybe deferred to another Committee if the circumstance can be dealt by the respective committee alone. If President Im turns up in the Grand Committee, it would mark the first time in which a sitting president has done so. |

Conservative MLA backbencher and chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee Darrell Ai Sha has been arrested by police on suspicion of violating a trade embargo on the Nahrin Union. It comes 24 hours after the outspoken MLA has called for President Im to turn up before the Grand Committee to explain why a Nahrinese made timepiece has suddenly re-surfaced in the Nahrin Union. Although both the Im and Cuthbert governments dispute each other claims, Mr Ai claimed that President Im secretly gave back the watch in exchange for favourable treatment towards him. Mr Ai has been detained on suspicion of violating the Bai Lung Travel Restrictions Act 2009 (Amended 2010), which bans anyone from visiting any RTL sanctioned country, as well as banning 50% of Bai Lungese companies from doing trade with any RTL sanctioned country. The penalty is a $80,000 fine and/or a 20 year prison sentence. It is unknown what crimes Mr Ai face but some speculate that Mr Ai, an oil executive, had planned to sell $200 million of oil to a Nahrinese based electricity company. Hundreds gather outside Presidential Office Building over treatment of deported immigrants. Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the Presidential Office Building over the poor treatment of recently deported immigrants to the Nahrin Union and Dannistaan. Some of the protesters are the deported immigrants themselves. They have called for President Im to address the lack of welfare for all recently deported immigrants by building more shelters and to increase the number of food banks. Several homelessness charity groups have appealed to President Im to cut the charity tax to help address the mass influx but has repeatedly resisted any plans to do so, citing a need to reduce the budget deficit first. Speaking briefly to reporters, he gave them his analysis of the mass deported immigrants situation:
Shortly after his comments, several right-wing journalists infamously summed up Im's comments as 'CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS? THERE AIN'T NO CRISIS!' |

Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() BREAKING NEWS: Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha released from detention; Im is summoned to Grand Committee for first time in Bai Lungese history. Conservative MLA backbencher and chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee Darrell Ai Sha has been released after the High Court declared it was illegal to hold a suspect without good reason. Mr Ai was detained by police after it was alleged that the he violated a trade embargo on the Nahrin Union by doing attempting to sell several barrels of crude oil to a Nahrin Union based electricity company. The Bai Lung Travel Restrictions Act 2009 (Amended 2010) forbids 50% of Bai Lungese businesses from doing any trade with any RTL sanctioned country including all oil companies. Critics of President Im claim that Mr Ai was simply arrested because he called for a hearing surrounding the Bai Lungese-Nahrinese standoff related to a missing timepiece which was re-claimed by the Nahrinese state. Both dispute each others claims but a growing number of Conservative MLAs, with the anti-Im movement spearheaded by Mr Ai, have accused President Im of deliberately giving back the watch in exchange for favourable treatment towards him. All of the High Court justices have unaminously voted in favour of releasing Mr Ai from detention after it was emerged that he never set foot in the Nahrin Union and President Im was using his powers to silence all critics. The lower house has voted a resolution which requires the President to turn up before the Grand Committee, a step below actual impeachment. Its voted by a party line, with 290 Conservative MLA voting in favour and all 215 Labour MLA voting against. All of the minor parties abstained. The summoning of the President to the Grand Committee marks the first time in which a leader has been ordered to turn in the committee in Bai Lungese history. If the President fails to turn up to committee within 24 hours, the lower house may vote to impeach the President. |

President Im has vehemently defended his handling of the watch situation while blasting his opponents of undermining national security. The President's appearance at the Grand Committee, a body made up of the entire legislative assembly members, marks the first time the President of Bai Lung has been summoned to a committee. It is one step below impeachment but the lower house may vote for a resolution calling for the President to be impeach if they feel the President is unable to do his/her job. The inquiry was held 24 hours after Darrell Ai Sha was released from detention when he was arrested on suspicion of doing business with the Nahrin Union. At the inquiry, led by Conservative backbencher MLA Darrell Ai Sha, he asked the President if he or the entire Im cabinet were aware that the watch was always in the possession of the Im administration to which the President replied yes. The President then went on to defend his handling of the situation, while declining to state specifically where the watch is located, citing national security concerns. He then compared the hearing to that of a witchhunt.
The hearing continues tomorrow. |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() President Im denies involvement in Kelssek hockey riot. President Im has strongly denied any personal involvement in the Kelssek hockey riots in 2008 when a group of Bai Lungese fans ran into the streets of Laneux and damaged several shops, particularly Japanese related businesses. On day 2 of the Grand Committee hearings, chairman Darrell Ai Sha has acussed the President of deliberately planning a riot in Kelssek in order to make it easier to oust Chiba Seto through this way with his increasing unpopularity with the general public. Mr Ai claims that President Im actually paid several thugs to pose as hockey fans and start a riot in Laneux, Kelssek where the hockey match took place. Mr Ai has retrieved past e-mails made by the President. In them, Mr Ai has read one particular e-mail which suggests that President Im wanted to start a riot.
President Im has denied that particular message was intended to start a riot and what Mr Ai had suggested was taken out of context.
President has also strongly denied that he used taxpayer's money to fly the thugs into Kelssek. He has pointed out that all of the flights were paid by the fans themselves and the only taxpayer funded item are the planes themselves. 20% of the planes purchased used only taxpayer's money. Day 3 of the hearing continues tomorrow. |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() President Im denies planning missing Pension record discs incident. President Im has continued to deny any personal involvement in any alleged past corrupt activities brought forward by outspoken Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha. On the third day of the Grand Committee hearings, chairman Darrell Ai Sha has acussed the President of further acts of corruption when Im appointed Ling Wei to be the depute interim-admin in June 2008. On July 2008, a month after appointment, a pair of gold plated computer discs belonging to the Customs and Exercise that contained over 500 million pension records, went missing after Mr Ling commuted to the Lower House building by bus. Mr Ai has claimed that Mr Ling was simply appointed because of his gaffe-prone behaviour and to that end, he made Mr Ling 'accidently' dropped the two discs in order to distract the general public any suspicions made to President Im. President Im has hit back at claims that he deliberately picked Mr Ling because of his clumsy nature by praising Mr Ling for having 35 years of working alongside Stalinist leader Chen Jong Sun and using his expertise to craft a democratic Bai Lung. Just between breaks of the meeting, a nude man ran into the Grand Committee, chanting out 'PORN FOR ALL! PORN FOR ALL!'. He was taken out of the room immediately. Day 4 of the hearing continues tomorrow. |

Todays Headline from New BLCTV News. Full stories available on www.newblctvnews.bl (Articles also available in English, Dannistrian and Dovakhanese)![]() President Im denies corporate cronyism in high rise flat construction deal with SPDR. Returning to the Grand Committee after 4 days of witness hearings, President Im has been summoned to the committee spotlight to answer further questions related to past corrupt activities that has happened during his tenure. Outspoken Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha interviewed the President regarding the large donations he received from East Dannistrian construction company Stephens, Peter David and Roberts Industries (SPDR, pronounced Spider) in return that he gives unlimited access to unused land plots in Bai Lung. SPDR is scheduled to build over 20 high rise apartments in Hapkido district, southern Pyongjing, on September 2012. The company has a long reputation for its poor and unreliable services, a fact stated by Mr Ai. SPDR has also gained recently controversy for being affiliated with former Dannistrian Nationalist Party and former First Minister of East Dannistaan Kelly Minn'ow-Jones, who is known for her anti-Bai Lungese immigrant stance. President Im has vehemently denied that he is offering favours to SPDR in return for donations, nor is he aware of their affiliation with Ms Minn'ow-Jones.
Day nine of the hearings will continue tomorrow. President Im Grand Committee hearings breaks records for most watched TV broadcasts. The first 3 days of the Grand Committee hearings featuring President Im as the defendant has shattered all records for the most viewed TV broadcasts in Bai Lungese history. Over 675 million viewers on average tuned in to see President Im testify before the Grand Committee during the first 3 days of his appearance. However, it was the inaugural hearings that produced the most viewers with a massive 722 million tuning in. The previous record for the most watched TV broadcast was the inauguration of President Im which attracted 620 million viewers. Presidential hopeful Berty He criticised the statistics.
