October 1, 2024
On October 1st, during the parade for the 64th anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus, the police made two arrests. Citizens attempted to display a banner reading "CYPRUS REPUBLIC: THE ONLY SOLUTION" and argued for the importance of the right to express themselves. The police warned them that such an action is prohibited, without further explanation. The outcome of these actions is still pending, as it is unclear whether charges have been filed against the detainees.
