August 2, 2025
The arrest of five Greek Cypriots by the occupying regime raises concerns about potential new arrests and the safety of Greek Cypriots traveling to the occupied areas. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus has initiated diplomatic actions, requesting intervention from the EU and the UN. The detainees are facing charges of violating a military zone, with the occupying authorities seeking to detain them for three months. This situation indicates pressure tactics aimed at Nicosia.
