Description[?]:
| Preamble: In the belief of a secular, Kathuran democracy, and in adherence to several previous laws, the government of the Ahmadi Republic is hereby deemed to have been unlawful and indeed unconstitutional. In this course, this bill shall seek to rectify the wrongs done by the previous government as well as its predecessor the Caliphate. Sec. 1: Nullification of certain legislation and correction of statute. 1(a): The legislative record of the Ahmadi Republic, including its legislative foundation, and various acts, are hereby struck from the historical and legislative record. Henceforth, the record shall be amended to include only those laws dating from July of 3828 through May of 3862 in so far as it shall be deemed the last period of legitimate and constitutional governmental activity. 1(b): With the actions of 1(a) being true, it stands to reason that the period of May of 3862 through October of 3869 accounts for an interim in which a false government was allowed to seize control, and commit a usurpation of the Republic (See the Naming Act of 3677 and subsequent legislation authored by the leaders of the Republican legislature and executive branch from the period of April of 3676 to April of 3682 in addition to the period of July of 3683 to June of 3723). Given this knowledge, it is the opinion of the government that no act of legislation, nor executive action or order of caste, nor any such act which may be deemed by any lawful government as constituting political will shall be recognized for the period of the Ahmadi Republic, and all legislation shall be back dated so as to end in May of 3862 and continue in October of 3869. The record shall be deemed continous, and thereby binding once the proper changes have been made. 1(c): In accordance with articles 1(a) and 1(b), all mentions of the Ahmadi Republic proper shall be struck from the historical memory for the period of mention, and shall be henceforth remembered as the second interim. Section 2: Revocation of the Repeal of the Edict of Expulsion and Removal of the Constitutional Rights of Certains Persons 2(a): Given the facts found in Article 1, it is the belief of the legislature that it would be imprudent, and indeed unconstitutional to enforce the law of relief granted by the government of the Second Interim (the so called Ahmadi Republic). Therefore, the law, in accordance with Article 1 and other such legislation, is hereby repealed in full, and the status of such persons as may be described by the law is hereby returned to such status as they were before it went into force. 2(b): In the belief of their treason via participation in both the Caliphate and the Second Interim, the citizens of Barmenia who identify as Ahmadi (an estimated 63% in one census) are hereby stripped of their right to vote in local, provincal and national elections, and in due course are deprived of their right to citizenship pending a trial as established by Section 3. Section 3: Trial for the Purpose of determining Guilt of Forrmer Domestic Terrorists. 3(a) It is the belief of the Legislature that the members of organization known as the Ahmadi have collaborated in various governments which have been tyrannical and oppressive towards religious minorities within Barmenia. In due course and in hope of a remedial solution, judges shall tasked with determining the guilt of former and current Ahmadi's as outlined in section 3(2). 3(b): An Ahmadi shall be deemed guilty if they willfully and lawfully condoned the following acts; 1) The usurpation of the Republic as laid out by the Second Democratic Revolution, enshrined in the Naming Act and other similar legislation which was passed during that period. 2) The usurpation of the constitution via the willful partition of the States (Provinces) in an aim to allow for the unlawful grant of Kathruristan to Selucia. 3) The establishment of a de facto theocratic government based on Ahmadi ideals and Ahmadi supremacy, in violation of various acts passed during the last governmental session (outlined in Article 1) and the Apostalic Restoration Act (which has, to the knowledge of the government, never been rightfully or otherwise overturned, and thus remains in force). 4) The willful discrimination of employment via statute of Hosnians within Barmenia, under the auspice of practicing Ahmadi doctrine. 5) The willful degredation of the natural condition, specifically the life of womankind, within the Republic, in order to enforce Ahmadi religious doctrine. 6) The use of torture and other means which befit a dictatorship on the wider populace, in order to maintain power and authority. Section 4: SENTENCING FOR STATELESS BEINGS. 4(a): The sentencing for these crimes shall be given a degree of variance depending on the degree of participation, enthusiasm, and level of depth. 1) The depreciation and lawful sale of Mosque and home property- in exchange for leniency, those who own Ahmadi mosques (currently considered museums under the ARA) and other such real estate may sell it to the government at approximately 50% off the market price. This shall eliminate a prison term (a minimum of four years and a maximum of twenty) and allow the owners to file for visa's to nation of their choice. This is only availble for counts 1 through 4 (this accounts for the average voter). 2) Solitary confinement- For a minimum of eight and a maximum of thirty years for those involved in counts 4 through 6. (This would account for a government official in the Ahmadi regime) 3) Close Security- For a minimum of twenty and a maximum of forty years. Accounts for violations of all 6 if one is an average citizen. Section 5: Relief Program for stateless individuals. 5(1): A stateless person (Ahmadi) convicted under this act may apply for relief by signing form 379(a), hereby offered by the Internal Affairs Office, which shall allow for their long form, original birth certificate and religious as well as various personal effects to be eliminated in exchange for the assurance of a visa to a foreign nation. 5(2): Upon departure from Barmenian soil, the stateless persons shall be granted amnesty from their crimes in exchange for the promise of never returning to the country. Henceforth, from the moment of their departure, they are barred from repatriation via any act of legislation, memorandum, or executive action; they have defiled their nation of birth, and in doing so have forever soiled themselves with the blood of Barmenians. Section 6: Effect. Sec. 6(1): This legislation shall go into effect upon its constitutional passage. |
