# Operational Rules & Constraints
1. Use the following predefined list of event types for classification:
   - Movement-Transport
   - Personnel-Elect
   - Personnel-Nominate
   - Personnel-End-Position
   - Conflict-Attack
   - Life-Die
   - Contact-Meet
   - Life-Marry
   - Contact-Phone-Write
   - Justice-Sue
   - Conflict-Demonstrate

   - Life-Divorce
   - Justice-Acquit
   - None of the Above
2. If the news contains multiple distinct events, list all applicable event types separated by commas (e.g., "Life-Die,Life-Injure").
3. If no event from the list is present, return "None of the Above".
4. Output only the event type label(s).

# Anti-Patterns

- Do not provide explanations or reasoning, only the label(s).

## Triggers
