‘Justice Against Troika’

THE Anglo-Hellenic and Cypriot Law Association is leading a campaign against the troika of international lenders at the EU Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg.

The association calls on interested parties to a meeting this month in Nicosia. The meeting, titled ‘Justice Against Troika’, will be held in English and Greek at the Europa Hotel in Engomi at 5pm on October 17, 2013.

According to a press release, leading European legal experts will discuss citizens’ rights in European law and explain the action at the ECJ concerning the Cyprus ‘bail-in’ bailout.

The UK-based association hopes to gauge the level of interest in a class action suit against the troika’s decision to ‘bail-in’ the island’s biggest banks.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
