September 1, 2026
In Parliament, a shocking revelation was made about the rape of a Greek Cypriot during his captivity in 1974. The president of the Prisoners' Association, Mr. Vassos Christou, mentioned that the prisoner’s wife confided in him about this incident just before her husband passed away. She stated that her husband didn't want to take this burden to his grave. There are other prisoners who suffered similarly but have not spoken about their experiences. There is a need to recognize the traumatic experiences of these captives.
