September 26, 2026
The construction of new prisons in Agios Sozomenos has sparked reactions from local residents and authorities. The municipalities of Southern Nicosia and Idaliou-Latsion are concerned about the environmental impact on the area. The Minister of Justice assures that the Ministry will handle the project with transparency and respect for local concerns. The site is 7.5 km away from residential areas, aiming to minimize disturbance to residents. However, the complexity of the situation persists, as there are already other burdensome activities in the region.
