Not to comment on this situation, just Imperials in general. It seems to me that an Evil Empire, bent on conquering the world and enslaving all that would not join them, would inherently be malicious, unfair, and just generally mean. So really, it seems like it is well within its bounds to punish anyone they thought deserving of such, and do so without getting the complete story and being completely unfair about it. Look at examples from RL history and you'll see what I mean. For example, why do kings always kill the messenger? The messenger didn't do anything wrong.
On the other hand, I do think some people need to remember that everyone, imms and mortals, play this game for fun! I know I don't roleplay as best I can 100% of the time. Not because I don't want to, but maybe I had a bad day in RL, or just aren't that creative on a particular day. Or maybe I role-play like crap anyway :) But hey, at least I try! (And before someone gets offended, no this really wasn't a comment that other people don't try!)
Anyway, my $0.02
