Cyprus Prison Documents Case: One-Month Extension Granted for Document Review

The Nicosia Criminal Court has granted the prosecution's request for a one-month extension to review the documents requested by the defense in the case of the Central Prisons documents. The defense had requested the immediate delivery of the documents, while a lawyer for one of the defendants even suggested suspending the proceedings until a decision is made on how to handle the documents. The Court rejected the requests for suspension but approved the one-month extension to the prosecution, aiming to ensure a complete picture for the defendants. The prosecution committed to delivering the non-classified documents and allowing inspection of the classified documents, unless access to them jeopardizes the security of the Republic of Cyprus. The next hearing is scheduled for March 10th.
