ALMA Criticizes RIK for Cancelling Show with Tsikkini

The ALMA Movement criticizes RIK (Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation) for the sudden cancellation of a show featuring Nicoletta Tsikkini, who is facing legal action from First Lady Philippa Karsera Christodoulidi. ALMA believes that RIK's justification for the cancellation (hosting the leader of ALMA and appearances by Tsikkini's lawyer) is unconvincing and argues that it is an act of censorship and an attempt to silence critical voices. Tsikkini, for her part, accuses the First Lady of trying to silence her. ALMA points out that this is not the first time RIK has avoided hosting critical voices and that it appears to be influenced by the government.
