| Message | As the Workers Party and the MCM both have worked hard these past 12 months to introduce this law and rightly so yet never passed due to problems with entanglements to other articles, we decdied to simply add this one bill to make sure it becomes law, as so many parties have tried to back this one bill solely. Edward Smith, Labour Party Justice Minister |

| Message | April 5, 2462, must stay in Solentia's History as a glorious day. Today, we ended Police's power to extract information - or disinformation - from Solentian citizens under torture. Long live this day, long live the Senators that voted for this liberating bill! May Solentia never again have torturers as servants of the State! Sen. Ersebet Piantella - Leader, Workers Party |
