Ryccia has awoken to a new regime. The armed forces, speaking on state TV and radio, have declared that a new State Administration Council, a military government, will now govern the nation, headed by Marshal Ashley Lachuentstin. Martial law has been declared by the SAC, and said body has now assumed all executive, legislative and judicial powers. The Prime Minister and all his cabinet ministers, the President, all members of the Supreme Court and key lawmakers have been arrested. In addition, the constitution has been suspended "indefinitely", and protests are now prohibited. The SAC has warned that "if any acts of public disorder meant to threaten national security occur, the perpetrators will be considered guilty of treason on the spot, and they will be met with lethal force".
