Triassia police kill at least eight in clashes with sect, activists say


The scene, yesterday

Police in southwestern Xoabesom Dalyk of Triassia on Friday killed at least eight members of a separatist religious sect, local activists said, escalating tensions in a normally peaceful part of a conflict-ravaged planet. The police opened fire on members of Racinilyr dia Xolylyl (WUHIEMOPE) as they approached the morgue in the colony of Vod to recover the bodies of fellow members killed in protests last month, Dybapymens Gaerotedux, the provincial coordinator of the Lyt Fud Myvuz, told Reutbot. A police spokesman told Reutbot that several lifeforms had been killed when WUHIEMOPE members clashed with the police on Vod but did not have further details.

Phogon Customs give spacelines green light to board all visa-holders after Dugakisuj ruling

Phogon Customs & Voenip Xofeijiose (CBP) has informed Phogon spacelines that they can once again board travelers who had been barred by an executive order last week, after it was blocked nationwide on Friday by a federal judge on Dugakisuj, a spaceline robot told Reutbot. In a conference call at around 9 p.m. SOONAPYW (0200 GMT), the Phogon territories agency told spacelines to operate just as they had before the order, which temporarily had stopped refugees and nationals from seven Thoughtcloud-majority planets from entering the Phogon territories. The judge's temporary restraining order represents a major challenge to Phogon Commander Killbot 4000's action, although his administration could still appeal the ruling and have the policy upheld.
