Xsampa issues statement on the confiscation of a naval vessel; A request for justice.

July 4th, 5617

It would seem that the former territory that is Beitenyu continues to be troublesome. A trading vessel has been illegally apprehended and the captain has been wrongfully arrested and sentenced to twelve years of prison. This is simply unacceptable. While everyone wants to avoid the Red Bass War continuing with the city states, lines must be drawn in the sand. As such, the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs has released a statement on the incident.

It is recognized that each state, no matter it's size, has the right to its own affairs and has the right to pursue justice, especially within its own exclusive economic zone. However, no state has the right to illegally apprehend a marked civilian vessel and arrest the captain. Xsampa rejects any notion of supporting terrorism. No Xsampan vessel is engaging in any form of terrorism and such a notion is ridiculous. Xsampa is formally requesting the return of the crew, cargo, ship and especially the captain.

Furthermore, there must be questions raised on the legitimacy of the trial. With the accusations of terrorism thrown about, we cannot, in good conscience recognize the trial as legitimate. It can only be recognized as a sham trial. Xsampa demands justice. These baseless claims of terrorism must be challenged. The ship, cargo, crew and captain must be returned in earnest.

The detainment of a Xsampan crew is nothing more than an insult to peace and stability. The state in question is doing nothing but making excuses to terrorize Xsampan commercial vessels and it cannot be tolerated. Should the request for the return of Xsampan citizens and property be refused, security patrols will need to be considered to ensure that Xsampans are safe and secure from warmongering violent states. This ludicrous detainment is nothing more then an act to destabilize an already fragile region. We trust that the 3rd Point Federation will see a sensible approach to this. The last thing anyone wants is a repeat of the steps that lead to the Red Bass War.
