Tomás Arenas stood once again. The case against the three Kvaskm saddened him. It seemed to him like the whole situation had been caused by the panic of a starving people, and language barriers. But nevertheless, it was his job to prosecute Henrik Yulov and his subordinates, and he would do his job.
“That is correct, yes. Your honour, the Kvaskm citizen Henrik Yulov ordered his men, Karl Iovavik and Franzik Udr to fire on a crowd of Aelurian civilians at a food distribution point in August of last year. This led to the death of one Lauchenoirian civilian, Javier Treiboz, and the injury of four other civilians.
The Kvaskm forces, which were supporting the Aelurian government after their since-revoked unilateral declaration of independence, were guarding a supply distribution centre in Liaville, Aeluria where rations were distributed to civilians during the blockade of the island, the nature of which was detailed in the previous case. On the day of the incident, rations had been cut once more by the Aelurian authorities and tensions were running high in the crowd.
A civilian woman was given extra sugar by the Kvaskm man distributing the rations, which she then went on to sell to a group of men for money. Another Kvaskm soldier confronted the woman in question, but due to the language barrier was unable to make his intentions understood, and ended up being surrounded by a mob of Aelurians, who proceeded to attack him.
Mr Yulov then proceeded to demand that the crowd disperse. He was joined by two other Kvaska, Iovavik and Udr, who raised rifles at the crowd. When the crowd refused to disperse, Mr. Yulov gave the order to his two subordinates to fire on the crowd of civilians, an order which was obeyed without question. This led, as I have stated, to one death and four injured civilians.
Mr. Yulov ordered his troops to fire on a crowd of civilians, and is therefore responsible for the injuries and death which occurred as a result, as are Iovavik and Udr when they carried out these orders.”
Arenas sat back down, waiting for the response.
