The occupation army carried out a serious attack against Greek Cypriot farmers in the Mammari area, an unprecedented escalation within the Dead Zone. According to a report by Alpha Cyprus, more than 20 Turkish soldiers and armed men posing as pseudo-police officers attempted to arrest Gavriil Gerolemos and his father while they were cultivating a private field near an occupation army outpost. The farmers reported being attacked with stones and attempts at physical violence, while the armed men tried to immobilize and arrest them. One of the armed men attempted to climb onto the tractor to arrest Gavriil's father, but fell when the farmer accelerated to drive away. UN Blue Helmets were present at the scene, but did not intervene, limiting themselves to recording the events with mobile phones. The attack caused serious damage to the farmers' tractor. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus has already been informed and is collecting evidence to make representations to the United Nations and international partners. The incident raises serious questions about the violation of the security status of the Dead Zone.
