Kenan Ayaz's Case Continues at ECHR, Lawyer Says

The lawyer for Kenan Ayaz, Eustathios Eustathiou, stated that the case of the Kurdish activist continues at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Despite his recent release from prison, Ayaz has not lost the international protection status granted to him by the Republic of Cyprus and his residence permit has been renewed. The appeal to the ECHR concerns issues of fair trial and the right to freedom of assembly and association. Ayaz continues his struggle for a free Cyprus and a free Kurdistan.
