August 19, 2004 / 19.2004 Hygan

In a shocking turn of events, Njakavjav Dymjav Dobryt has committed suicide. Mr. Dobryt was the brother of Prymyrav Jymav Dobryt, and was suspended a week ago in connection with the accusations of bribery. A suicide note was found that declared that he was indeed part of a scandal. If the note is valid, the scandal could be more widespread than originally believed.

In Olympic competition, Akjav Mynanyt has won the 100+ kg judo gold medal.

Quote of the Day:
"I was not the only one involved. My brother, the Prymyrav, and other so-called 'bastions of democracy' have been accepting bribes."
-Njankavjav Dymjav Dobryt, in his suicide note.
