Hoebeek, Becker cleared of all charges; joint-assembly called

The full Congress of People's Courts has approved its Presidium's movement to clear former Supreme Councillor Andries van Hoebeek of all charges. In a statement released today, the Congress stated that there "had been a grave miscarriage of justice in Kiel;" that "those who the people are supposed to trust have been consumed by their emotions, have engaged in the most terrible of plots simply to enact their revenge. "

Said statement went further on to clear the Kiel People's Court of all wrongdoing - "we have found no connection between the People's Court and the falsification of evidence;" however, it suggested that action be taken to further regulate the People's Militias - "their power is too great; their nature makes it inevitable that such a terrible thing be attempted again."

The Confederation Council appears to have agreed with this sentiment, calling a joint assembly of the two legislative chambers to address the issue. The people through the syndical and national councils will create mandates through which their representatives will and must act; said mandates must be submitted by Wednesday, the date on which the joint assembly will convene.
