Greek Cypriot citizen arrested in north Cyprus for participating in protest against Afrin invasion
Turkish Cypriot daily Afrika on Tuesday reported that Fadila Chikhou, a Greek Cypriot of Syrian origin
was arrested by “authorities” in north Cyprus on Sunday after crossing
from the Ledra Palace checkpoint.
Chikhou had previously participated in a Kurdish-organised protest in south Cyprus against the Turkish invasion of Afrin.
According to Afrika, during the protest, Chikhou stepped on a picture of Erdogan and was holding a picture of the jailed Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan.
She was remanded for one day on Monday after being accused of participating in an “illegal organisation” and of “insulting a foreign state official.”
