The Sultan walks into the People’s Parliament Chamber where the trial of the accused Ali Qubdulfc would take place and approach the royal throne where he would chair the court. He sits down on his throne then said to talk “Mister Speaker would call to order the chamber please” The Speaker began “Order in the Chamber Members would you please take your sits so we can began the trial of the accused traitor” then Ali came in with his attorney and sat down at the defense table. Sharyan began again “Ali Qubdulfc do you plead Yea or Na to the Charges that will be read before now” The Speaker began to read “Ali Qubdulfc you are charged with one count of Treason against the Government, Royal Family, and the Sultan along with one count of Coup D’état against the Government. You are also charged with two counts of attempted murder of a Government Official and Royal Family and eight counts of illegal ordering of the Republic Guard. Additionally you are charged with ten violations of the Sharia Law code of the order of Islam. How do you plead Yea or Na” Ali spoke “NA, Mister Speaker” “Ok then my Mister Attorney-General you may began with your open statement” The Ayatollah-General began his speech “My Liege and Majesty and esteem members of the Parliament I come here to give evidence and background to this case of the State vs. Ali Qubdulfc on the grounds of being a traitor to our state. You will hear testimony and evidence that proves that Ali Qubdulfc has done each and every charge that has been brought against you. Mister Qubdulfc was a minister in the government in the Ministry of Homeland Security and he knowingly and on purposely plotted against the Sultan and Government of our state. He attempted to order the Republic Guard to arrest and execute the Sultan and Crown Heir before seizing the Government along with declaring himself supreme leader of it. He wishes to do this so he’s relatives could become one of the most powerful family in the region and to attack our allies and subjugate them to his will. If he had accomplished this then the world would have been at war with our country and many will die so he could forcefully convert innocent people to Islam. So when you list to this case please take into account that he must be punished so that he can never try to do this again. Thank my Liege and esteem members” |

“My Liege and Majesty, Mister Speaker, and Esteem Members of the Parliament I come here to defend Mister Qubdulfc who has been falsely accused of attempting to harm the government and His Majesty Sultan Sharyan and His Highness Crown Prince Mahmound. The State’s case is based off foraged documents which were recovered by the Republic Guards and the Interior Intelligence Service. Which has no evidence that my client had sent or signed them in the name of the Sultan also there is no proof even if he had signed them he had no motive to kill or harm his Majesty or Highness along with overthrowing the government. Esteem Members it will be a shame to convict my client of any of these charges for supposedly trying to carry out such false actuations. The State has also charged my client with violations of the Sharia Law which covers the order of Islam which he had attempted to bring shame to the belief in our lord and master Allah.” Defense lawyer said. “Thank you, and you may started with your evidences along with calling your first witness Mister Attorney-General” Sharyan said to the Attorney-General “Thank you my Majesty, the State calls Colonel Ali Khiofa CO of the Republic Guard’s Communication Center in the Eastern District of the Capital. Col. Ali will you please take a look at this document Exhibit A of the State’s Case and please tell me what this is and when you first saw it please.” “This is an order which had order the Republic Guard to arrest the Sultan and Crown Prince for treason against the people and I first saw it on the morning before the Interior Ministry Intel. Service came in and asked if we had received an order. I responded by saying yes and showed them this order which they took and told me to report any other orders that came from the Homeland Security Ministry without the signature of the Homeland Security Minister.” “Thank you and did you know that there was attempted coup against the government Col.?” “Not until later that day when I received a message that a minister in the Homeland Security Ministry attempted to kill the Sultan” |
