I think I need to add a change to that as it was changed in the Great Council. I hadn't got to the amendments the one law did.

I edited your post Uni to change Article 7 to the Procedural Law act thingy. I support this amendment though.

Its more of a war crime than treason if it is done by non-residents, right?

I'll support this ... as long as it doesn't turn into some kind of ex-post-facto, we-can't-continue-the-trial-of-Frak-or-try-anyone-who-we-believe-committed-treason-before-this-edit-was-made nonsense.

That's what would make sense, at least in my mind.
