Extrajudicial Measures for the EOKA Murder Case

May 9, 2026

The Legal Service is attempting to settle extrajudicially the murder case of Neoklis Panagiotou and Evripidis Nourou by offering financial compensation to their families. However, the families reject the proposal, demanding clarity and justice regarding the case. The murder occurred in 1961 and remains a haunting part of Cypriot history. The families' lawsuit addresses state omissions from then until now. They express concerns about a lack of transparency and claim that the Legal Service is unaware of crucial documents pertinent to the case.
