Premier Reynolds-Torres Announcing Crippling new sanctions against Mikuni

The Government of Kalistan has rolled sanctions against Mikuni into the currently standing sanctions regime in place against Trigunia. Both rogue states are currently personna non grata within the Republic, but Mikuni has, to date, been exempted from the commercial and economic sanctions. But following the legalization of slavery in that fascist dungeon, added to the daily egregious violations of the human rights of the People of Mikuni (the longstanding historical name of a nation The Kalistani Republic has previously referred to as Gao-Soto), the Government has extended sanctions to include all property of business interests, commercial interests and financial interests of that nation to be found within Kalistan.

"The Government of Kalistan is imposing a strict non-association with the main economic and political players in the State of Mikuni," said Premier of the Republic Michelle Reynolds-Torres. "They are enslaving their people, in addition to imposing a racist apartheid state and there is no nation in the world who should reward them for their sociopathic racial policy. Kalistan certainly will not be a Party to working with these wicked racists who play on the fears and hatreds of a handful of people to elevate a demagogue."

To wit, the Government of Kalistan has issued a broad expropriation order against all businesses and investments belonging to Mikuni Interests to be found within Kalistan. All bank accounts held by Mikuni investors who use Kalistan as a tax haven will be frozen and their assets nationalized. All Mikuni trading vessels will be denied port at any point along Kalistan's shore, and any ships listing Mikuni as a country of origin or nation of last port will be impounded, searched for Contraband, and expropriated if found to belong to Mikuni owners or the Mikuni State. Mikuni will not be called Hulstria within Kalistan, and any official of that fascist regime to be found within Kalistan will be arrested and incarcerated on the King's Rock Facility in Odufaray, pending the settlement of this crisis. Any Mikuni ship to be found to be transiting the Ananto Strait will be impounded and forced into the nearest port where it will be searched and expropriated. These Sanctions will take effect within 10 days, and will last until the Government of Kalistan drops them, pending significant efforts to improve the nation's human rights record and hold those responsible for this wicked policy to account.

"If the people of Mikuni ever get sick of this, they are welcome to change their government at any time and hold the people responsible for their suffering directly responsible," said the Premier. "We will consider the development of popular, anti-fascist formations within Mikuni to directly resist the efforts of the fascist government to be a positive development, even if they aim at rooting out the fascist leadership and tossing them out of office, and will support as we can."
