Suspected Ishuk-Raata 'Killing Fields' Discovered in Syndicate

A mass grave-orchard has been discovered on an Ishuk-Raata occupied planet in Syndicate early yesterday evening. Rows of stakes and Kresh trees roughly four years of age have been discovered, each supporting emaciated corpses of unidentified victims. The graveyard is yet another chilling red flag of 'justice' in Syndicate. with Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive's former base of operations located nearby, rumors abound of connections to their loyalty policies. Investigators have suggested it to be the location of 'Kresh Feeding' ceremonies, a practice long since abolished by the Caldari State. Initial death toll has been counted to 233 victims, though identification of individual remains has proven difficult, possibly leaving room for a higher death toll.

Ishuk-Raata has refused to comment on the situation and disavows all knowledge of the site, but Scope deep cover operatives have indicated these mass graves may be the direct result of an internal purge conducted by Internal Affairs Director and capsuleer "Katrina Anya Oniseki". Named the Right Hand of elusive leader and I-RED founder, John Revenent, M. Oniseki has dual citzenship in both the Federation and Caldari State. Known to be eccentric, paranoid, and prone to dangerous outbursts; Ishuk-Raata has a history of officially filed complaints regarding her treatment of non-Caldari in the Directive.

Many bodies lay directly underneath the still hanging corpses of others, without even having been removed from their final resting place. Vermin and carrion birds make it difficult to linger for long among the acrid stench of partially rotted bodies, and not even the slightest suggestion of proper burial rites can be found. While this site appears to have been long abandoned, with the most recent corpses being many months old and most found to have laid there for at least three years, it brings to light questions of conduct for the Caldari capsuleer organization. Is Ishuk-Raata involved? Should criminal charges be filed? What exactly is happening in Syndicate?

Kresh Feeding is a method of torture and execution in keeping with old Raata methods. Hung alive by the left ankle from the strongest branch, victims have their teeth removed and the soles of their feet cut. Disembowelment is conducted on every subject. A clear intent to prevent the natural course of post-mortum cycles by salting the corpses to prevent decomposition is similarly standardized. In this case, some victims are even missing eyes, tongues, or fingers; not considered part of the traditional methods. The bodies were found desecrated and violated, left to rot in the hot humid sun without burial.

Sounds like a horror holo-movie script, do want.

Wait, this is sketchy...

What? You're taking this seriously?

Speaking as a former member of the Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive, I hardly believe that this could have been done by any party that I had directly worked with. Moreover, those whom I have had the pleasure of recently meeting who did not operate with I-RED at the same time that I did give me little reason to believe that they could do so, either.

I stress that the proper thing to do in this instance is to investigate, not draw wild accusations.

At this point, I don't actually know. However, we are taking this seriously, considering the length of our presence in the JQV5-9 and MK7-AO constellations, the continued presence of Ishuk-Raata orbital infrastructure in the region, and the extensive planet-side development undertaken by a large number of Ishuk-Raata capsuleers.

I should have a research team on site soon.

As we all know, Makoto Priano is a know honorless liar (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5150253).
And now this Makoto is trying to slander Ms. Oniseki's name, by claiming she is married to a Gallente.
Such distasteful claim should not come without proofs, and if anyone would like to believe this Makoto, you should ask her first for proofs of such dishonorable marriage.

At least bring a name of that gallentean man, whom Oniseki is married to.

Citizenship means national homage. Each Caldari citizen is Caldari soldier when mobilized.
If you are a Federal citizen, it means you have homage to the Federation as well, and might defend the Federation instead of the State. It means your loyalty is not the loyalty to the State alone anymore, and you might not make your duty when you have to.

It is a treason, Mr. Moromuo. If you have dual citizenship, whichever side you will defend, you will be a traitor to another.

Denial of defending any of the sides would mean you are traitor to both.

I love how variable the definition for "treason" becomes whenever its potential application is to anyone but Tibus Heth.

I love you when you start blaming people.

How cute....
