Law on Deportation of Asylum Seekers Who Commit Crimes
December 4, 2025
A new law has been passed that accelerates the deportation of asylum seekers who break the law. The law targets individuals whose applications for international protection are either rejected or who have committed serious crimes. The process for accepting or rejecting applications will be expedited, with specific powers transferred to the Cabinet. An ELAM MP stated that his party's proposals for the deportation of criminals were implemented. He also emphasized the need for safer communities in Cyprus.
