Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago, imperial troopers publically executed an insurgent in the streets of Mos Eisley, right in front of Chalmun’s. The troopers even called for spectators, obviously making an example of the rebel, despite a partially hostile reaction of the people present.
It is not known if the man who was shot was sentenced to death by a judge or if he was shot without trial, but the whole spectacle lets one suspect that the Empire is pressed hard by insurgents in the local sector, and is now using such tatcics in an attempt to scare the population into compliance with Imperial politics.
How successful such strong-arm tactics will be in a town whose population is known for their criminal activities remains to be seen. It could very well turn out to be counter-productive - a number of people seem to be even more determined to fight the Empire after witnessing the execution.
