The report from the European Parliament's Research Service highlights the conditions faced by trapped students in Karpassia, emphasizing their human rights violations. It reveals that they live under restrictions regarding their education and individual freedoms due to Turkish occupation. The issue became prominent following a request from MEP Loukas Fourlas to investigate the situation at the Rizokarpaso school. This report is expected to serve as a reference tool for future issues. UNFICYP continues to support education in Greek schools in the area despite persistent refusals from the Turkish Cypriot side.
