Bourgeois resistance destroyed, Feridoun captured

On the final day of the Eleventh Party Congress this first week of June, word arrived to the assembled delegates that the fourth division of our nation's Kata-blessed Worker's Defense Army cornered the remnants of Traitor Feridoun's bourgeois-monarchist forces in the village of Ginidasht, in the northern part of Ramistan Province.

Feridoun's forces took their final refuge in village's former bank - a fitting place for such wealthy rats to make their grave. A detachment from the WDA stormed the building, the heavens themselves surely shaking at the sight of their bravery, and apprehended Traitor Feridoun and several of his closest collaborators.

The Battle of Ginidasht therefore put a final end to the long revolutionary war waged by the UWPI-MF and its allies. It has been eleven years since Brother Shirazi, Brother Ramiani (Kata protect his departed soul), Sister Shahsani, and thousands of common working people began their people's war against the oppressive rule of "President-for-Life" Feridoun. He and his bourgeois collaborators promised our nation as well as the nations of the world that this insurrection would be put down within a year, but the valiant and never-dying will of an enraged proletariat can never be squashed.

The Worker's Defense Army has already brought Feridoun back to the capital, and it is here in Qeshir that we will try this dictator for his crimes. At the National People's Congress, in a special session, the UWPI-MF accused Traitor Feridoun of the following crimes:

• Deliberate destruction of twenty villages in Ramistan Province
• Collaboration with national and international bourgeois efforts to sabotage the Revolution
• Murder of Brother Reyhan Ramiani
• Maintenance and defense of an oppressive socio-politicoeconomic system
• Conspiracy to suppress socialist and revolutionary thought

At this Congress, our allies in the Front for the Establishment of Proletarian Democracy (FEPD) accused Traitor Feridoun of the following crimes:

• Deliberate sabotage of efforts to establish workplace democracy
• Deliberate sabotage of efforts to establish workers' councils,
• Directly ordering the murder of 65 trade unionists
• Allowing the murder of 1440 trade unionists through inaction and inadequate supervision of police forces
• Maintenance and defense of an oppressive socio-politicoeconomic system
• Conspiracy to suppress socialist and revolutionary thought

Thirdly, our allies in the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP) accused Traitor Feridoun of the following crimes:

• Maintenance and defense of an oppressive socio-politicoeconomic system

A grand jury comprised of 50 members of the National People's Congress voted to indict him on all of the above charges. Of these charges, the deliberate destruction of villages, orders to murder trade unionists, sabotage of efforts to establish workers' councils, and conspiracy to suppress socialist and revolutionary thought carry a maximum possible sentence of death.

In a display of cross-party unity, the UWPI-MF, FEPD, and DSP voted to allow international observers, even those from countries with bourgeois regimes, to watch the trial. In an even rarer motion, the three parties voted to allow bourgeois media to report on the trial in their home countries to further, in what little way possible considering the circumstances, the advancement of class consciousness. The National People's Congress resolution, however, was careful to state that whatever report comes from foreign media will inevitably be tainted with bourgeois thought and therefore will not be distributed to Ilamzati workers.

The Republic of the Ilamzati Proletariat
People's Council for Foreign Affairs
"Workers united bring glory to Kata and justice to humanity."

The National People's Congress in a full session authorized Resolution 326, directing the People's Council for Foreign Affairs to start a program with the goal of bringing foreign media personnel into the Republic of the Ilamzati Proletariat and to allow them to view the trial of Feridoun Taghvi on twelve charges. Foreign media that would like to apply for this privilege should direct their application to this office, and include their name and country of origin, the number of personnel that would be visiting Ilamzat, and the name of their supervisor or foreperson.

The process will begin with a guided tour of the rehabilitation center where Taghvi awaits trial. Taghvi will have an opportunity to speak to the foreign media as a group; after this, a representative of the People's Council for the Penal and Rehabilitation Systems will also address the media. The guests will be staying in the Kirman District Hospitality Cooperative in the capital city of Qeshir. The trial will formally begin the next day, and may continue for several days.

Only guests declared on a formal application will be allowed to leave Qeshir International Airport and enter Ilamzat proper. Any unauthorized personnel will be returned to their country of origin. Due to the high-security defendant in this trial, the foreign media will be guarded by a platoon from the 4th Cooperative Division of the Workers Defense Army - Women's Unit. Foreign media should not bring weapons of any kind with them. Those found carrying weapons will not be allowed to leave Qeshir International Airport and enter Ilamzat proper. The People's Council for Foreign Affairs reserves the right to reject any application.

The Council thanks you for your attention to this document and wishes whoever reads this the best.
