‘The Indignant’ on the way from Larnaca

MEMBERS of the ‘Indignant’, a group of citizens outraged over the Mari blast, yesterday continued their 300km march in memory of the 13 victims killed in the July 11 naval base explosion.

The march, which began on Thursday in Paphos, yesterday morning predominantly covered the Famagusta district including Paralimni, Dherynia, Frenaros and Avgorou.

At noon the peaceful group took a break in Xylotymbou village in the Larnaca district. They spent the night in Aradippou.

During the course of the day the protestors met with House President Yiannakis Omirou and handed over a memorandum.

Today the marchers will set off from Aradippou and will make their way to Nicosia passing through Koshi, Lymbia, Nisou, Latsia’s industrial area, the new Nicosia general hospital roundabout, the Kalispera traffic lights and finally conclude outside the Presidential Palace, where a delegation of participants will seek to have a meeting with President Demetris Christofias.

In a symbolic move, thirteen people are leading the march.
