| Message | The National Committee of the 15th of September Movement condemns this severe curtailment of the liberties so hardly won in the past years for the citizens of Hulstria and Mikuni. They should not be servants any longer to Imperial Socialism, but citizens as of old, of a land of two peoples, united and free. We shall take to the streets and to the underground to assist those defying this startling oppression of the inherent civil liberty of all the people, Hulstro-Showan, Kunihito or Hulstrian. - Statement nailed to the doors of the Ranzurado buildings during the night by a Septembrist. |
