Man cut internet connection over health fears

Police in Paphos arrested a 39-year-old man on Monday suspected of cutting power to a wireless internet antenna because it was bad for people’s health.

He told police the reason was because he considered the operation of such antennae in residential areas to be bad for people’s health.

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.
