Syka Case: Request for Immunity Waiver at the Supreme Court - Complaint Withdrawn, Investigation Continues

A request for the lifting of the immunity of DISY MP Nikos Syka has been filed with the Supreme Court following a complaint of assault. Simultaneously, the woman who had accused the MP withdrew her complaint. However, the Police continue to investigate the case. POGO emphasized the difficulty women face in making complaints and the need for full support and protection from the authorities. Additionally, previous sexist remarks made by the MP and the lack of immediate reaction from DISY were mentioned. Legal experts called on DISY to take clear political measures and to consider the introduction of measures such as suspension for MPs involved in cases.
