Human Rights Group Decries Emperor Lavigny-Duval's Request

Operation Chainbreaker, a human rights activist group based in Sol, has issued a statement critical of Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval’s request for slaves ahead of her coronation.

“Emperor Lavigny-Duval’s request for slaves as ‘gifts’ is a shameful display of hypocrisy,” the statement said. “At this moment, the Empire wages war to end slavery in the Pegasi Sector, while its new ruler seeks to proliferate it by offering incentives and rewards for slave traders who bring their human cargo to Achenar.”

The statement continues with a demand that Emperor Lavigny-Duval free all slaves received during the days leading up to her coronation, and that she take steps to abolish the practice of slavery in the Empire as a whole.

“It is the sincere hope of Operation Chainbreaker, and lovers of freedom and the right to self-determination everywhere, that the new Emperor brings an end to the institution of slavery in the Empire.”
