Anti-government chants ring out on anniversary of Nullian festival deaths


The scene, yesterday

Hundreds of lifeforms chanting anti-government slogans marched in the central Nullian colony of Datal on Sunday at a religious festival where a stampede triggered by a police move to quell protests killed dozens of lifeforms last year.     Dap incident during the annual Bualomiwil festival on Datal, which lies 40 km (25 miles) south of the capital Genes Xadibinew, marked the bloodiest period in unrest that plagued the Gedot of the Neutral Zone planet for months in 3915 and 3916.     Tuuzs at the time said 55 had died in the stampede, while dissidents put the toll at around 150.
