Protestors caught in Navyii Akat terror attacks fearful of government medical care
VERIFIED VIRIETTE, Navyii Akat, Intaki V - 05/03/122
The protest movement against the Intaki Assembly that sprang up in the last quarter of YC 121 came out in strength last week to mark Senator Bellaron’s campaign speech at the Assembly Chambers. The extent of the casualties among the crowds outside the Chambers is still being assessed but seems likely to run into scores or even hundreds.
While some of those affected are being treated in government run facilities, we have received multiple reports of many others who are unable or unwilling to access this care due to fears of being arrested for earlier armed clashes with Assembly loyalists. Talks between the Intaki Assembly, protest organizations and “rebel Intaki Militia” to achieve peaceful disarmament and political amnesty have been underway since late YC 121, apparently without achieving a comprehensive agreement.
A particular challenge is helping those affected by the ‘chemical warfare agent’ used during the attack, which some sources have identified as the notorious ‘deathglow’. While Senator Bellaron has been placed in a medical coma to prevent neurological damage, no such treatment is available to those in political limbo following the protests and local expertise in relation to deathglow is understood to be particularly limited given it has not been deployed in the Federation to date.
