AKEL Calls for Immediate Action by Legal Service Regarding Alleged Gender-Based Violence

AKEL is calling on the Legal Service to take immediate action and thoroughly investigate the allegation of gender-based violence against a current Member of Parliament. The party criticizes the previous handling of similar cases, which it claims has exposed Cyprus internationally and targeted the victim. It emphasizes that, due to the MP's position, the case must be treated with strictness and as an example, with zero tolerance for such incidents.
