Palestinian protest

AN ORGANISATION calling itself the Palestinian Community in Cyprus will stage a demonstration at 5pm on Saturday outside the Israeli Embassy in Nicosia “in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Gaza and the West Bank and with the families of the recent victims”.

According to a press release, the demonstration is being organised in light of “the atrocities on the Palestinian people and the relentless bombings and killing of innocent people in Gaza”.

The organisers call on people to attend the demonstration outside the Israeli Embassy.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
