Greece to reopen banks on Monday, cash restrictions to remain

Greek banks will reopen on Monday after being closed for three weeks due to the strain of liquidity. The government, however, will not lift restrictions on daily cash withdrawals, which amount to €60 per day. Greek authorities have also added a so-called weekly limit which allows depositors, for example, to withdraw €420 on Sunday if they did not take out any money during the whole week. People will not be able to cash checks and get cash abroad with their credit or cash cards. Greek banks have been closed since June 29, when the ECB rejected to raise emergency funding for failing banks because of Greece’s failure to reach an agreement with its creditors.

COMFORTABLE WIN FOR BENGALURU BULLS

Mumbai, July 18: Bengaluru Bulls coasted to a comfortable 33-25 win over a new look Bengal Warriors who for a while threatened their rivals by surging towards a substantial 12-2 lead by the 9th minute. Comeback man, former India captain and twice Asian Games gold medalist Dinesh Kumar led the charge for the Warriors from the front at the NSCI in Mumbai.

 The Warriors made a good start by trapping rival raider Ajay Thakur and then running through the rest of the side. The lanky boy from Himachal was not to be kept quiet for long and he later came up with a scintillating raid in the second half that yielded 4 points. Earlier, Bengaluru committed a lot of unforced errors in defence. As a result the winners suffered an all- out, in Kabaddi terms a ‘LONA’ that gave the losers a 10- point advantage.

With things looking a bit worrisome, in stepped Manjit Chillar like a true leader to set up the recovery. He twice used his famous front block to subdue a marauding Dinesh and within no time the winners paid back the compliment of a lona. At 14-12 the game slowed down a bit and the teams trooped out for the break with the Bengal outfit 16-15.

Gaining in confidence thereafter the bulls gave their rivals another ‘LONA’ to surge 22-16 and that four-pointer by Ajay ultimately swung the match in Bangalore’s favor. Try as much the Warriors did they could never bridge the gap despite getting Ajay twice with super tackles. Dinesh faded away and the impressive South Korean Jan Kun Lee too found the going tough after the initial success he earned. He did score a couple of points but that was not good enough. The absence of their dependable raider Nitin Madane who was injured and did not take the field marred Bengal’s chances no doubt.

The Bengal side can take heart from the fact that they did run the opponents close and there is scope for improvement. For the Bulls Rajesh Mondals act on the day gives them added fire power but the defence led by Dharmaraj Cheralathan needs to pull up their socks.

Ajay Thakur was rightly chosen the Man of the match. He was also undoubtedly the best raider for that memorable raid that yielded four points. There was some consolation for veteran corner man Nilesh Shinde of Bengal as he received the inspiring defender of the match. The audience too voted in his favour, which set the seal of approval on his performance.

Dear friend Rohingya community leaders Ba Thar, Kyaw Khin, Kyaw Myint and his son Hla Myint, have been sentenced for up to 8 years in prison – just for calling themselves Rohingya. Last year, you helped free Rohingya community leaders Dr Tun Aung and Kyaw Hla Aung. Now these four men need your help. Please take action here. Rohingya community leaders in Burma have often been imprisoned for calling for the recognition of the Rohingya identity. Ba Thar, Kyaw Khin, Kyaw Myint and Hla Myint were arrested in April 2013 for taking part in a community protest against a government-led population registration exercise. This did not allow members of the community to identify as Rohingya, and protests forced the government to suspend the registration exercise. The three community leaders were falsely accused of using violence during the protest. They have been targeted by the military-backed government because they are influential Rohingya community leaders calling for the recognition of the Rohingya identity. On 3rd March 2015, the Rakhine State Divisional Court sentenced Ba Thar, Kyaw Myint and his son Hla Myint to 8 years imprisonment. Kyaw Khin was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. Please take action by writing to the High Representative of European External Action Service, Federica Mogherini, to call for the immediate release of Ba Thar, Kyaw Khin, Kyaw Myint, Hla Myint and the remaining political prisoners in Burma. Thank you. Anna Roberts Burma Campaign UK
