Nyköping - A five year saga of justice came to a close after the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the government's actions to suppress otherwise political voices that actively take physical action in attacking or subverting the constitution or people of Nyland. The decision condemns nearly 500 people to a federal court decision convicting them of terrorism, sedition, and conspiracy against the government and people of Nyland.
The saga began in the middle of 1587 when S.H.I.E.L.D agents under the liberal Kohout government, following a three-year investigation, performed sweeping country-wide raids on select domestic organizations and people that it had added to its Federal List of Designated Terror Groups. Hundreds were arrested and indicted on various charges of crimes against Nyland and her people. Most notable were some of the government's most outspoken critics in the far-right, though those arrested and the groups targeted spanned the political spectrum, and many self-professed paramilitary groups.
In the months following the initial arrests, hundreds more were taken in, pushing the number up to well over one thousand.
Those arrested also ran the economic gammut, from local strongmen to high-powered individuals, though all had the same common thread of either actively participating in activities the government considered sedition - such as the 1580 invasion of Nyvattendel - or overseeing such events and plans such as putting out literal hit-lists of opposition party members for others to act upon.
Opponents of the arrests argued that the timing of the raids was meant to suppress dissent by the liberal government of "strong patriotic opposition" ahead of the 1588 presidential election season, and were conducted on purely political grounds. However, in light of all the evidence collected by S.H.I.E.L.D in the years leading up to the police action, the courts disagreed, citing that "political affiliation and the first amendment does not and has never protected those who have committed real crimes against the government or other people." Eventually the case wound its way through the system before finding itself before the Supreme Court, where the lower courts' decisions were upheld, and the constitutionality formalized.
