AL RAQIS - The Arraxes goverment was paralyzed this week when the Beit Dawla issued arrest warrants for all members of the Laandrat, accusing the members of a lack of action on the Black Pox epidemic and of taking advantage of the crisis for profit.
Most members of the Laandsrat have been placed under house arrest with the exception of Zeno Baxton, who turned herself in and is currently being held in a cell at the government center. The order was issued by Beit Dawla leader Jade Moonkill.
"I hear by order, as an elected member of the Beit Dawla established by order of the Sovereign – His most Exaltedness the Emperor, the immediate arrest of all members of the Laandsrat Council and the executive board of ARPharm," Moonkill said in the announcment. "To face charges of treason against the people of Araxes and crimes against humanity for failure to act swiftly and appropriately in this pandemic, human trafficking and exploitation. I also order the seizure and freezing of all property, assets, and financial accounts of its members and the stock holders and members of the executive board of the ARPharm until the time that they have been tried and found not guilty."
At least three of the Laandsrat members were also citizens of the UAP in 34 Tauri. The UAP government decried reactions in a statement.
"The UAP is most distressed to learn that its citizens have been placed under arrest on Araxes by order of a member of the Beit Dawla. Jade Moonkill is also a citizen of the Alliance, and it is troubling to see what one person can do to her fellow citizens," said a government spokeswoman.
Magistrate Joan Al Kafar of Arraxes, who was also one of those served warrants, declined comment.
Rersidents of Arrexes have been largely silent in the latest turn of the crisis, waiting to see what happens in the first big political crisis since the establishment of the Beit Dawla as a seperate branch of the Arraxen government.
