AKEL Calls for Investigation into Domestic Violence Allegations Against MP

AKEL is calling for an immediate and thorough investigation into allegations of domestic violence against an incumbent Member of Parliament. The party emphasizes the need to activate all relevant institutions, particularly the Legal Service, in an objective and impartial manner. AKEL expresses concern that the Legal Service has created a bad precedent in the past, exposing Cyprus internationally and targeting the victim. It urges the service to act quickly and avoid repeating such practices. Given the seriousness of the allegations and the suspect's position, AKEL insists that the handling of the case must be strict and exemplary. The state and its institutions must demonstrate zero tolerance for domestic violence. AKEL stresses that the protection of victims and the administration of justice are of paramount importance. It demands that the competent authorities take all necessary measures to ensure full transparency and effectively address violence against women.
