WPDB - Discordian Government put pressure on Civil Society to SHUT UP

Sources from within Discordia has leaked that the limited freedoms enjoyed by most civil society groups as well as the press have been revoked. Most were reluctant to come forth and stressed "This is off the record." 

The news came only weeks after the government implementet several government reforms and reinstitutet the Army General as President of the Country. Although the changes at the time were reported as a positive move forward a closer look at the agrement, identifies a tightening of government control and an increase in Presidential power. 

Shortly after this development the Shavian arms-trade mission visited the country and demonstrated the Werewolf Attack helicopter and the Dragon armoured personnel carrier.
