Rojadavistan: Criticism against "anti-extremist" legislation in Eskkya increases

Reactions against the controversial "anti-Akhadic" legislation discussed in Eskkyan parliament are increasing in Near East countries, this time in Rojadavistan.

Despite President Serefxane Canê condemned the proposal and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mallah Xidir Mukriyanî, during a visit to A'Sir, declared that the Rojadavistani government will closely cooperate with A'Sir to assist any Rojadavani citizen in Eskkya that may face political persecution, the government is being pressured to give a more strong response to the Eskkyan government.

Opposition lawmaker Perwîz Rashowî has recently denounced the announced Eskkyan legislation as "a second religious persecution against Akhadic religion in recent years", in reference to a similar legislation passed in Strathae a few years ago, and warned that if Near East countries aren't able to show their strong opposition, "more Brigidnan countries will continue...the ethnic cleansing of Akhadic believers and Near East minorities".

But Rashowî, an independent MP from the southeastern Masham district, is not the only one in his criticism of the government. The second largest political party in the Rojadavi parliament, the Akhadic Front of Rojadavistan, which is unofficially affiliated with the Akhadic Society -which Eskkyan Premier has already threatened to ban in the country- has criticized that the Rojadavistani could do more to defend the interests of Akhadic believers in Eskkya an other countries.

Yesterday, Kuzhe Zain Bateyî joined this current of opinion. In his speech in the Akhadic University of Sermîyan, Bateyî declared that the "basic principle of reciprocity should be applied" and called that if Breizhigist churches don't openly oppose the legislation and call the Eskkyan government to reject this legislation, then the Rojadavistani government shall have the right to "declare Breizhigism...a proscribed cult" in the country. According to most interpretations, that could give the government the right to prosecute any Breizhigic preacher in Rojadavistani soil as a "threat to the national security".

Although the State Council has a mostly advisory role and it is not directly involved in passing legislation, it remains influential on government's policy, and Bateyî himself is considered a respected scholar in the local clergy, it is expected that tensions between both countries could increase if the legislation is finally passed in the Eskkya parliament.
