Police arrested three people at the Ledras Street crossing point in Nicosia on Sunday, who took part in a protest in support of migrants.
The protest was held under the slogan ‘Stop the war against migrants’ and was organised by a group on social media.
The march started at noon from Peace Park and ended at the end of Ledra Street near the crossing point. It was also held in response to the death of the 24-year-old Pakistani man in the Potamia incident on January 6.
An official of the Police Press Office told CNA that the two arrests involve women on the offence of public insult, causing alarm and resisting lawful arrest. The third arrest is of a man and was for the offence relating to personal data legislation.
