There is no end to the challenges of the occupying authorities.
This time, Attila's target was the Mayor of Paralimni - Deryneia and the Deputy Mayor of Deryneia, whom the pseudo-state put on the exclusion list on the charge of espionage.
The occasion was their visit to the occupied lower Deryneia as guests of the Committee "Slavic Lower Deryneia" and refugees of the parish, who wanted to show them around their area.
This seems to have angered Attila, who immediately rushed to place Giorgos Nicolettos and Nikos Lillis on the "blacklist" of the pseudocat
According to the member of the Committee "Adoulotii Kato Deryneia", Michalis Poleos, "on August 31 we held a peaceful event with the purpose of taking the mayor on a tour of lower Deryneia and telling him the history. There we took some pictures and some videos because we think that this is the most normal thing when you go to your occupied village to have some memories. Since I was informed by the Mayor, the occupying forces have put some people on a stop list and he informed me not to go through the barricade because there is a chance of being arrested."
The culmination of the illegal actions of the occupying regime was the arrest last night of a citizen named Nikos Lilis, a cousin with the same name and last name of the deputy mayor, who tried to pass the Deryneia roadblock.
The specific person was illegally detained by the occupying authorities on the charge of espionage and interrogated for three hours.
According to information, the reason for the accusations appears to be a photo posted by the Municipality of Paralimni - Deryneia, which depicts a sign of the illegal regime, in which it prohibits the legal residents of Kato Deryneia from photographing their own houses.
In a statement, the Municipality of Paralimni - Deryneia called on the state to stand by it in the struggle for information and awareness of the provocative actions of the pseudo-state. "It is sad when refugees visit their homes which have been occupied for fifty years and face the angry reaction of the occupying regime which excludes these people.
Our Municipality will vigorously continue all actions inside and outside the borders to highlight the problem of invasion and occupation as well as ascertaining the fate of our missing persons".
It is not the first time that Greek Cypriots have been blacklisted by the occupying regime without any justification. It is recalled that the occupying regime last week forbade the community leader Assias to visit his occupied village for a pilgrimage.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is taking specific actions for the illegal actions of the occupying regime regarding a recent visit of displaced residents of the occupied Lower Deryneia, the President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulidis said on Thursday.
"Through the diplomatic route, primarily with the European Union but also with the United Nations, we will also face these challenges," he noted in statements before the inauguration of the hall that will house the Cultural Club, the Hunting Association and the Sports Association Eagle of Anglisides.
