GATTHAUS - Over the 10 foot wall separating Gatthaus (locally Gotthaus) in the Laurentian Kingdom and Britzbern, Gein Lochland - the sound of mass protests is heard and lights from fireworks and government-owned spotlights can be seen. Royal Intelligence Ministry (RIM) has evacuated the closest areas of Gotthaus' border neighborhoods including the famous Govenuer District in response to the potential for violent responses by the Gein Lochland government on its rebelling people.
The protests began early this week after the arrest of community leader and former priest David Reithsmann, charged by the Polizei Gein for "conspiring against the establishment and Gein people." With Reithsmann branded as a terrorist, a group of people from the economically disadvantaged Halvetien neighborhood gathered in Niklausplatz. They assembled and called for his release. Late Monday night, the crowd had swelled to around 70 residents. Through the use of 611-Gein, a website sponsored by the LK that can be used by GL residents who have access to Laurentian cellular networks, the word spread of the protest. 611-Gein manager Renee Augustene told Laurentian media that it was the most the website has ever been accessed outside of the LK.
When the sun rose on Tuesday, the number swelled to over 200. According to sources on the ground, the government rang the neighborhood police sirens and ordered everyone into their homes. The crowd dispersed and the rest of Tuesday was calm and without incident.
Wednesday, however, was not without conflict. Halvetien residents found Reithsmann executed in centre of the Niklausplatz. This is a common police technique in GL, to forbid further misbehaviour. It is supposed to be a warning for others who might act out. This was not received as well as they expected. Protests and rebellion ignited with a gathering of up to 1,000 residents, fighting with the overwhelmed local police force. The Polizei retreated and the Halvetien residents celebrated their "victory" with continued protests through the night. All of this was filmed and posted to LK and international social media through the common use of smuggled LK phones.
This victory was short lived. This morning, Thursday, the people of Halvetien were not confronted by Polizei again. They were confronted with the military, who in riot gear, moved to enact a temporary conditional shut-down of the area. This was refused by the residents, who had swelled to an unprecedented 2 or 3 thousand protesters. With the appearance of the military, the crowd converged in the center of Niklausplatz, not allowing anyone in their group to get out, matched by the military which formed a wall around them with their riot shields.
Gein Loch military officials did not expect the word to spread to other areas of Britzbern as quickly as it did. Thousands of residents from the poor areas of east Britzbern poured into the district before the police could fully set up a perimeter. This has resulted in some confusion and the crowd fighting with military personnel in the middle of the square.
The rebellious protests have continued into the night, with locals arming themselves with guns from a marooned armory van. The standoff has not resulted in any fatalities at this time, however news has been trickling out slowly from the area. Gein Lochland's federal government has likely employed the signal blocking technology they bought from an unknown nation last year.
The King of LK has issued a warning to area citizens in the borderlands to be aware of the current conflict and be vigilant and report any information to Emergency Services at 6-11.
