Altredstad Massacre

The Altredstad Massacre was an incident in Altredstad, Kozaria during the Dirty War in which 31 unarmed protesters were shot dead by soldiers of the Narikatonite Imperial Army.

31 unarmed protesters were massacred during a relatively peaceful protest. The protest against the arrest and beating of a 16-year-old boy, who had houted anti-Imperial slogans in the street, by Imperial authorities the night before had attracted around 1,500 people who marched down Altredstad Main Street. When soldiers blocked the route, minor scuffles broke out with the protesters, mainly women and children. It is believed a direct order to fire was given, and the 25 soldiers manning the blockade opened fire with semi-automatic weapons, cutting down the lines of protesters. 19 of those killed were under 18, and one boy, Stephan Bein, was only 12 years old. A 70 year old man was also killed. There were no reported injuries to the soldiers.

The massacre has prompted severe rioting in several towns and cities. The PRA and the KFA murdered at least 10 Imperial soldiers in retaliation.
