Imperial Cadets in Reizen Island prepare for a preliminary hearing to determine if the cadets will go either to a military tribunal away from the public eye or a civilian court in Mibu, while several hundred members of the press and pro-transparency groups have taken to the streets of Reizen to demand access to the prisoners for fear of potential human rights abuses.  President Kensei has continued to pledge that the cadets will be given a fair trial and may consider allowing limited access to the trial despite concerns of a propaganda campaign to garner sympathy for the EFA.
