Red Alert Somalia

ps: After today's 4D update, Huali will give you an explanation.

——————

At around 8 o’clock the next day, when the two sides started the second round of peace talks, outside a large building in Bagua City that had been repaired, a Somali national flag slowly rose, and on top of the building’s gate, a huge The national emblem of Somalia is engraved on it.

Two standing African black-spotted golden leopards hold a shield emblem on their forelimbs, forming the basic pattern of the national emblem of Somalia.The color and design of the national flag are adopted on the shield surface.The upper part of the coat of arms is painted with a crown of the Somali king, which symbolizes independence and sovereignty.The image of the African leopard is the embodiment of courage and strength.The crossed spears at the bottom of the coat of arms reflect the determination of the Somali people not to resort to force to defend national sovereignty. The two palm trees on the spears are swaying, representing the country's crops.

Below the national emblem, a neat row of embossed characters illustrates the role of this building.The text relief is divided into two rows. The upper part is carved out of Somali, and the lower part is the Chinese text in a smaller font. The text on the two reliefs has the same meaning-the Supreme Court of Somalia.

In front of the court, down the thirteen stairs of the gate, it was a circular road with two large shining characters-law surrounded by flowers and fountains.

At eight o'clock, the carefully constructed Supreme Court of Somalia ushered in the first trial of a case, and at the same time, it ushered in the first opening to the outside world.

On the first day after the war ended, the Somali government immediately announced that it would hear cases of illegal invasion of Somali sovereign waters by foreign fishing boats in the Supreme Court of Somalia, and would invite international notaries to supervise it.Journalists can also be there to monitor and record the case trial process, Somali citizens and foreign tourists.You can also apply to participate in this public hearing.

The first trial is scheduled to open at nine o'clock this morning.At that time, the defendant is the country where the captured fishermen are located. They can send a team of lawyers to defend their own fishermen. If they do not send lawyers, the defendant can also defend themselves with the lawyers of the Supreme Court of Somalia, but the defendant To pay the lawyer's fees.

Compared with the peace talks that have not yet made any progress, journalists are more willing to come here to watch the proceedings of the Somali courts. In the face of so many countries, to see whether Somalia can withstand the pressure.Sentence the fishermen who illegally entered the territorial waters of Somalia to fish.

This is the first time that Somalia has performed national criminal jurisdiction. As the name implies, the effect of a country's criminal law on people and land is related to national sovereignty.Normally, most countries will make explicit regulations on this.In order to strengthen sovereignty, most countries will stipulate universal jurisdiction and protective jurisdiction in addition to the territorial or personal principles.

Somalia did so, and the countries where the fishermen were located did not find a normal reason to refute.One is that the twelve nautical miles of Somalia belongs to the inherent waters of Somalia; the second is that the capture site of Somalia is within the territorial waters of Somalia; the third is that the Somali navy has arrested fishermen; and the fourth is that the capture process of these foreign fishermen can be said to be correct. People get both stolen goods.

Regardless of whether it is analyzed based on the territorial principle, the personal principle, or the protection principle, Somalia conforms to the general legal principles of these most basic criminal law jurisdictions.

Somalia’s actions are in full compliance with the "International Law" and the "Maritime Rights Law" conventions.If these fishing vessels are twelve nautical miles away from Somalia, the essence of the matter is completely different, because outside the territorial waters, it is at best the exclusive economic zone of Somalia.Foreign fishermen come in illegally to fish. Although this does not comply with the law, the nature of the matter will not be so serious.But if it enters the territorial waters of another country.It constitutes a crime of illegal invasion.

And because of the Somali piracy problem, many fishing boats are the same as Japan's Fukimaru.More or less there are guns and weapons that were originally used for self-defense, which allows Somalia to grasp more handles.It can be regarded as an illegal aggression.Because twelve nautical miles is inviolable in international traffic, which is the core territory of a country.

In the past, Somalia was a semi-colonial country, and the coast became the “navigation” of “imperialism”. After independence, the Somali people were the masters of the country. However, foreign ships in the ocean continued to rampage. Foreign fishing vessels were fishing in Somali waters, while Somali fishing vessels were abroad. The repeated arrests simply fail to reflect the maritime sovereignty of Somalia.The content of the "Hague Agreement" is because Somalia has no ability to maintain it, and it has always been in vain.

Somalia now has this ability to improve its sovereignty, and Li Lan also wants to kill others, especially with the help of the impact of this war. His idea is very simple, and everything must be maximized.

Therefore, this has led to today's seemingly hurried trial.

The construction of the Somali People's Supreme Court was also specially funded by Li Lan. It should be trimmed. Although he is not a formalist, he cannot deal with the issues concerning the face of the country sloppily.After all, a beautiful court, and a tattered court, feel completely different.

The laws of Somalia have been perfected and revised all the time. When Li Lan was just starting out, Li Lan gradually improved from the simplest rules to the laws in order to become one of the standards for perfecting the national system as soon as possible.

This is the first trial of the new Somali government since it took office, and it is also the first trial of the sovereign territorial issue by the new Somali government. While receiving international attention, it has also attracted the attention of Somalis.Therefore, within the courtroom, the Somali National Television Station is ready to conduct live broadcasts, and they will conduct live broadcasts for this trial.Reporters invited from abroad can also broadcast silently as long as they want. In other words, reporters must remain quiet after the hearing, but the camera can broadcast live images and sounds of the trial.

The trial of this case, like many speculations by the outside world, did not send lawyers to the captured fishermen, and most of the fishermen did not ask for lawyers themselves.Perhaps in their opinion, the lawyer you applied for is also Somali, so it is better not to spend the wronged money.

As for the families of fishermen.Except for one or two families who came here, none of them meant to go to Somalia.

The court hearing was not delayed due to these factors.In this case, the Somali government acted as the plaintiff and brought these fishermen to court in turn.The plaintiff naturally has a lawyer.As for the plaintiff, it was left to fate.At least, the current Somali regime can no longer interfere with any country that wants to interfere.Even if Russian fishermen are caught, Putin must think about whether it is worth interfering.

Like many Somali citizens, Li Lan sat quietly at home, watching the live trial.

He was quite satisfied with the scene he created. The political significance of this trial is greater than any other significance. This is a signal he once again conveyed to the outside world.Countries that can appreciate his intentions will probably take action once the peace talks are over.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived on time, the TV screens had long been transferred to a large hall with a lot of space. The furnishings were almost the same as those of a large court. The trial seats, the vice-trial seats, the jury seats, and the dock seats.The plaintiff's seat and the trial team seat, etc., the only difference is that the size of the space in the trial hall is different.

At the moment, in court.The observers have been in place one by one, and cameras have been set up on the surrounding guardrails, and they will put the case on trial.Record it in detail.

When the time was up, the chief judge and others came in one after another.Because Somalia has used Italian law for a period of time, and Italian law has many similarities with Commonwealth law.So the trial personnel are all suits with a style close to the West.

In this trial, the presiding judge is a 50-year-old Somali. He once served as the presiding judge of the Supreme Court of Somaliland. Because of his personal ability and character, and rich experience, he was awarded to the Somali people by Li Lan The presiding judge of the Supreme Court, this time the trial of foreign fishermen, he will be the presiding judge.

The sentence that the defendant will be awarded is up to him.

Prior to this, the Somali government had published the country’s first complete law, and he would not mess around under the premise of the law.However, he was also instructed by Li Lan that those who should be sentenced strictly and who should be sentenced lightly, he already had a plan in mind.

After the preparations before the trial were completed, the trial was officially started under the hammer of the chief judge.After the defendant and the plaintiff enter the court in the following procedure, the steps are basically the same.The public prosecutor reads the indictment, the defendant and the victim's statement, interrogates the defendant, interrogates the victim and the plaintiff in the incidental civil lawsuit, interviews witnesses, appraisers, presents material evidence to announce the conclusion of the appraisal and relevant transcripts, retrieves new evidence, and investigates the evidence in court.

After the final emphasis on court discipline was over, the defendant in the first trial today was formally brought in.

Under the handcuffs and accompanied by the bailiffs, walking in the front is Sugimoto Kotaro, the captain of the Japanese fishing boat Fukimaru, followed by dozens of fishermen under his hands, all in a neat line. walk in.Standing in lines in the dock, there were twelve people in a row, five rows.

Sugimoto Kyotaro is standing at the rightmost position in the first row. At this moment, he is like dozens of other Japanese fishermen. Although he looks very healthy, his spirit is not very good.Moreover, before the court session, everyone has specially sorted out their lives, trimmed their hair, and shaved.Except for the prison uniform on his body, it did not look much different from before being caught.

At this time, they all know that today is likely to be the time to decide their destiny.Because the final conviction may be completed in one breath today, and the trial will be made directly.

Like fishermen in many other countries, Sugimoto Kyotaro did not hire a lawyer to defend himself. The Japanese government was sitting at the negotiation table in Somalia at this time and had no time to take care of them.This made everyone feel very helpless. They were not the navy. The Myoko could leave, but they could not.

During the four days of the court session, a translation of Somali law was issued in the prison, which clearly stipulated the trial and sentencing provisions for foreigners who illegally invaded sovereignty.

According to the Somali law, this is called a serious crime of illegal infringement, and many other crimes are added. As the captain, Sugimoto Kyotaro is the principal, as well as the principal and envoy.The sentence is not light.

The four days of waiting is definitely suffering. When they have not received domestic news, their hearts begin to despair.

Like the courts of many countries, after the court session, the defendant began to stand up, telling the reason for the case and presenting evidence.

In this matter, Krumbis, a professional lawyer from the State Legal Department of the Somali Government, served as the plaintiff's lawyer. At the beginning of the trial, he got up and said: "Dear judge...,"

Krumbis is a classmate of Farah. Both of them studied in London. Because they were both Somali, they were very close to each other.When he was in London, Farah chose business administration, while Crumbis chose politics and law.When he started with Li Lan in Farah, Clenbis was introduced to Li Lan, and he has always been a professional legal person in Li Lan's group.Li Lan also trusted him. He is now the chief legal adviser of the Somali government. Many of the laws of Somalia are compiled by him.

Now as the plaintiff's lawyer of the Somali government, his every move also represents the image of the Somali regime.Therefore, he cannot make mistakes in the procedures of various laws, otherwise he will lose his personal image, but the image of the new regime in Somalia.

After the normal legal process, Krumbis changed the topic to his own responsibility, "On the day of 20xx, on the day of 20xx, in the waters of Somalia at west longitude xx and north latitude xx, the Japanese fishing boat Fukimaru, When we illegally invaded our country’s territorial waters to carry out illegal extermination fishing operations, our fishermen found out... When our fishermen made representations requesting Fugui Maru to leave the waters of Somalia, the advanced countries’ barbaric and inhumane behavior towards the third world countries Exactly, a 5,000-ton fishing boat actually carried out a brutal collision with our country’s fishing boats of only a few hundred tons. At that time, the situation was extremely bad. If it weren’t for the fishermen on our fishing boats to dodge in time, it’s very possible. The defendant is not attempted murder, but murder."

Under Crumbis's narration, the projector on the side also began to display the plaintiff's evidence in turn.

In fact, the whole world knows about this ship collision incident very well. As soon as the video appeared, it was heated for some time. Today, this kind of occasion is brought up again and will serve as the biggest basis for conviction.

When Krumbis told the story, there were already speculations about what kind of crimes these Japanese fishermen would betray, and what criminal law they would accept. In particular, is the protagonist Sugimoto Kyotaro a life sentence or a direct death sentence?
