COMMEMORATION This
Monday, when Romania commemorates 32 years since the miners’ raid on Bucharest,
over June 13th and 15th, the country’s Prime Minister
Nicolae Ciuca has conveyed a message saying that the civil society’s marathon-demonstration
against neo-communism was stifled by instigating Romanians against Romanians.
The Romanian society must never become victim to diversions and false
propaganda, the head of the Romanian government says. 32 years ago this day,
responding to a call from the then authorities, miners from the Jiu Valley in
central-western Romania brutally intervened against the peaceful anti-government
protesters in downtown Bucharest. Four people were shot dead and over 1,000
wounded along with a series of abusive arrests. The file on the miners’ raid,
under which the country’s then President Ion Iliescu, former Prime Minister
Petre Roman and Virgil Magureanu, the former head of the country’s intelligence
service, had been sent to court must be resumed from scratch after the
indictment was considered null and void.






TENNIS Romanian
Simona Halep, second-seeded in the WTA 250
Birmingham tournament is today playing Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine in the
competition’s first round. Also today,
Gabriela Ruse of Romania is up against Qiang Wang of China, while the third
Romanian in the competition, Sorana Cirstea will be playing Shelby Rogers of
the USA on Tuesday.








WAR Amnesty
International has accused Russia of war crimes in Ukraine, claiming that
hundreds of civilians have been killed in merciless frag bomb attacks against the
city of Kharkiv, AFP reports. After thorough investigations, this human rights
NGO claims it found evidence that the Russian forces had used widely-banned
cluster munitions

People have been killed in their homes and in the streets, in playgrounds and
in cemeteries, while queueing for humanitarian aid, or shopping for food and
medicine, says an Amnesty International’s Senior Crisis Response Advisor.
While Russia is not a party to either the Convention on Cluster Munitions or
the Convention on Anti-Personnel Mines, international humanitarian law prohibits indiscriminate
attacks, and the use of weapons that are indiscriminate by nature.






REFUGEES Roughly
7,000 Ukrainian citizens entered Romania through its border checkpoints on
Sunday, June 12th, 26% less than in the previous day, the Border Police General
Inspectorate has announced. Since the onset of the conflict in Ukraine, roughly
1.2 million Ukrainian citizens have entered Romania.






WEATHER The weather is hot in Romania
and a code yellow alert for unstable weather has been issued for the country’s
south-western, local and central regions. Heavy downpours, thunderstorms and gale-force
winds are expected in the aforementioned regions, while the highs of the day
range between 26 and 32 degrees centigrade. Hot weather in Bucharest as well
with a noon reading of 31 degrees.
