Beyond Contempt - Giving insight and analysis of Cypriot justice.

[Stephen Grey @StephenGrey]

This is scarcely believable, but George Degiorgio, convicted killer of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was last night let out of jail (escorted) for party - the baptism of his grandson.

Here he is (centre-right in smart dark shirt)

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Cyprus’s minister of finance told us his office has frozen the assets of some foreigners sanctioned by the EU and is revoking their passports. He declined to provide 60 Minutes with lists of the seized assets, citing data protection rules. https://t.co/3ce6cgxwjm

👉 @Cyprus_Police refuse to reopen the “Ayia Napa Gang Rape case” !

👉 Above = a blatant violation of the Istanbul Convention - ratified by #Cyprus - assuring victims of sex crimes a professional police investigation

BREAKING : @Cyprus_Police & @LawOfficeCY @SavvidesGL REFUSE to re-open an investigation into the 'alleged' gang-rape by 'upto' 12 Israeli tourists on a British teenager in #AyiaNapa #Cyprus

Get ready for the many reports set to hit the media

If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.

Great to be here in Munich for the @UyghurCongress East Turkistan/Uyghur Summit with Uyghurs from around the world and experts and political supporters. More must be done to counter the intense repression and international crimes being carried out by the Chinese regime

[Emir Nader @EmirNader]

Groundbreaking hack of Chinese government computers blows apart its narrative on the mass “re-education” of Uyghur Muslims.

The files passed to @BBCNews contain 250,000 IDs and “paint a picture of relentless internment”, arbitrary detention, and imprisonment without trial.

Irfan Siddiq has been appointed as the new British High Commissioner to Cyprus and will assume his appointment from August 2022. 🇬🇧🇨🇾@IrfanUKamb

Massive pro-Russian rally organized today in Limassol, Cyprus today.

The city is known as the “Moscow of Cyprus”. Thousands of Russians have permanent residency.

Revoke it, send them home to Putin.

People who support genocide aren’t welcome in the EU.

[Cyprus Justice Disgrace of EU #TheAyiaNapaRapeCase @FreeHer4Justice]

"Two men, both aged 20, found guilty of raping an underage girl (17) in #AyiaNapa #Cyprus in the summer of 2020"

"The two men found the 17yr-old at a night club in Ayia Napa.
They then took her to a hotel room where they raped her against her will"

Cremating bodies of murdeted non-combatants to erase damning evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity was a standard practice of the Nazis.

[Alexandra ATTALIDES @AAttalides]

Καλύτερα να σου βγει το μάτι πάρα το όνομα! Ο επόμενος Πρόεδρος πρέπει να προσδώσει στον τόπο μας την χαμένη του αξιοπιστία μέσω της ενίσχυσης του κράτους δικαίου & μηδενικής ανοχής στη διαφθορά! Διαφορετικά την τάτσα θα την πληρώσουμε όλοι! #Cyprus https://t.co/3dDTyi74SF

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Zelenskyy name-checks former German Chancellor Merkel and former French President Sarkozy: “I invite Mrs Merkel and Mr Sarkozy to visit Bucha, to see what the policy of 14 years of concessions to Russia has led to … to see with their own eyes tortured Ukrainian men and women.”

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

After the massacre in #Bucha nobody can say that they didn’t know.

Therefore I call for a special meeting of the European Council to take new decisive measures against Putin’s criminal regime 👇🧵 1/4

[EU Justice @EU_Justice]

#EUcitizenship is NOT for sale!

We urge Member States to end investor citizenship schemes immediately and consider revoking golden passports already granted to 🇷🇺 & 🇧🇾 individuals sanctioned by EU & other supporters of Putin's war.

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

The European Commission recommended that #EU countries immediately cancel all schemes for obtaining "golden passports" (citizenship in exchange for investment) and think about canceling such passports previously issued to citizens of #Russia and #Belarus who fell under sanctions

[Maria Pevchikh @pevchikh]

Who said you cannot solve a problem with a twitter thread? Polina Kovaleva has been sanctioned today. Her glamorous British life is over. This wouldn't have happened without all of you. Without 70k likes, retweets and all of you talking about it. Thank you.
