| Message | Mr. Speaker, we believe that diplomats from other countries should be granted with full diplomatic immunity. They are send to Lodamun as citizens of other countries to represent their government. They are not in Lodamun for personal reasons but for reason of diplomacy between two countries. The change in law you propose will probably cause close of some foreign embassies in Lodamun beacuse of fear that their diplomats could be persecute for political reasons in Lodamun.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, if these diplomats or nations choose to withdraw from Lodamun under the proposed circumstances, they do not deserve to be in Lodamun. Everyone in Lodamun should respect the law. Even foreign diplomats. We find it a bit odd that a party that allowed and even regulated the extradition of one of our citizens is that concerned about the rights of foreign diplomats. We think that the name of that party should be changed. In something like 'Here's my country, please feast on my nation'.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We support the stance of LNC in this regard. No one should be above the law in this nation, whether it's our own citizen or foreign diplomat. We hereby, announce to support this bill. Regards Muhammad Hammad Chairman Lodamun National Movement |
