Dr. Michalis Markidis gave his own testimony about what he experienced during Saturday's demonstration to OMEGA and the show ENIMEROSI TORA, who, as he complains, received constant beatings with batons and abusive behavior from police officers during the first hours. aid to the wounded who were beaten.
The doctor said in detail:
I declare myself present at the protest. I was not there suddenly. I intended to go on a demonstration with the other active citizens in compliance with the measures provided by law.
I went to the event with serums and gauze. The organizers had asked to join and chant slogans and then disperse peacefully. The police stood with the famous Ajax in front of the demonstrators.
I told police that he was a doctor and asked them not to use chemicals near the protesters' faces.
They started beating me unnecessarily and pushed me with their shields. I retreated and started treating the injured. For the first time I saw police in Cyprus beating with so much hatred. He talked to too many police officers and I still have not received an answer.
When a girl is hit with a severe eye injury and the water cannon turns the policeman inside the vehicle and splashes a man who was going to give first aid. Imagine a doctor beating him.
When I was on the sidewalk helping a 65-year-old lady and she complained, raising my hands I received another friendly "bat" from a police officer and she said to me: You idiot, respect me.
