Livestock Farmers Block Roads in Oroklini, Cyprus - Place Coffin on Vehicle Roof

Livestock farmers in Oroklini, Cyprus, blocked roads this morning in protest against measures taken to combat foot-and-mouth disease and the subsequent culling of animals. Their aim is to prevent Veterinary Services officials from reaching livestock farms. The protest has taken a peculiar form, as a coffin has been placed on one of the farmers' vehicles, symbolizing the loss of their animals. Police forces are also present at the scene to maintain order and prevent further escalation. The situation remains tense, with farmers insisting on their decision not to allow the culling of their animals.
