Second Wave of Prisoner Releases Scheduled in Cyprus
December 31, 2025
A second wave of prisoner releases is set to occur in Cyprus, following 55 releases during the holiday season. This new list includes 130 inmates, with over 80 foreign nationals who will be deported. The decision aims to alleviate overcrowding in prisons, which currently house more inmates than capacity allows. There are also plans to build a new prison expected to be completed by 2028. The releases are expected to be announced soon, with the goal of improving prisoners' living conditions.
