Insufficient Evidence Leads to Deportation of Couple Suspected of Terrorism
March 13, 2026
A couple, a 28-year-old Azerbaijani and a 27-year-old Estonian, were deported from Cyprus due to suspicions of terrorism related to Israeli interests. They were held for 14 days, but no sufficient evidence was found for criminal charges. The 28-year-old is reportedly linked to Iranian intelligence and accused of photographing buildings associated with Israel. Their lawyers claimed they were being followed prior to their arrest. The case raises questions about the authorities' procedures.
