Ayia Napa case: British girl submits appeal against verdict

By 1232 0

The British girl, who was recently handed a suspended sentence by a Cyprus court as it found her guilty of levelling a fake rape allegation against a group of Israeli teenagers, has filed an appeal against the verdict in a court higher to the one which handled her case.

The girl was sent back to her country. She is at present in her country with her family.

Earlier, her lawyer said that she was not denied justice. He asserted that he would appeal against the verdict.

The British girl maintains her allegation that she was raped. She says that she was misled by the Cyprus police – an allegation the said police denied.

Several rights groups have come to the support of the British girl. On the day of the announcement of the verdict, several women –even those from Cyprus – gathered outside the court room to the support of the British girl.

The case has received tremendous International attention. The case has raised serious doubt over the Cyprus laws which deal with the issue of rape and similar sexual abuse related issues.

A legal group alleges that the Cyprus laws which deal with the issues like the aforesaid is not consistent with the standards demand by the European Union and similar International organisations which values human rights more than everything else.

Russia to revamp its system

By 1021 0

Russia is preparing to bring huge changes in its system. The Russian PM has announced his decision to dissolve his government. He has called his decision to dissolve the government as a step to facilitate the smooth implementation of the proposed changes. It seems that his council of ministers was kept in dark about the decision till the formal announcement.

The new changes will make the position of the President weaker than the Parliament. Those will also increase the strength of the Russian council presently headed by Vladimir Putin.

Mr. Putin is about to exist from the officer of the President of Russia in the near future. The latest arrangement is seen as a measure to sustain his clout over the Russian establishment.

Mr. Putin was beside the PM as a silent participant when the latter has announced his big decision to the people of the country.

Clearly, the Russia President has no plan to release his country from his tight clutches.

Technically, since the disintegration of the then Soviet Union, Russia is under the command of this ex-Spy.

Whenever the constitution of the country has come as a hindrance to his ascendance in various forms, such as the presidential term limit, he has brilliantly used various loopholes, such as the provision to switch the position with the PM, to continue his dominance over the country.

This time is also not different.

Already, all the political opponents of Mr. Putin have dismissed the proposed changes as a sham.

To implement the changes, the President needs the support of the people of the country. That is Russia is going to see a referendum in the near future. Not any time since the year 1993 the country has seen a referendum. In such a note, it is a positive step. It is also good to verify how much acceptance Mr. Putin has in his country.

Nonetheless, not many are happy with the announcement. Many of the political opponents of the Russian establishment have expressed their doubt in the ability of the present Russia to conduct a transparent referendum to understand whether the people of the country are happy with the proposed changes.

Deadly blast sends shockwaves to Spaniards

By 989 0

A deadly blast happened at a chemical factory in the Spanish autonomous territory of Catalonia has sent shockwaves to the people of the country.

As per a preliminary assumption, the blast was accidental. Initially, the authorities asked the residents of the area to stay safely inside their homes. But, later, the directive has been revoked by the same authority, as they have found that no harmful gas was released during the blast.

Catalonia is a heavily industrialised region in the European country of Spain. It is an autonomous region. A movement for the independence of this region from Spain is at a crucial juncture at this stage.

The present Spanish government owes the separatist parties in the region for its existence, as these parties form an integral part of the ruling coalition.

It is not clear how this development is going to reflect in the continuing agitation aimed at the independence of the region from the control of Spain.

No region in Spain is as prosperous as Catalonia. The Spanish economy relies hugely on the region for its stability.

The disinterest of Spain to give the region what it wants is linked to the aforesaid fact. The country knows well that losing Catalonia means losing its economic stability.
