Cypriot authorities must lift the unlawful and disproportionate blanket ban on demonstrations, Amnesty International said today, after reviewing disturbing testimony from protesters who were attacked by police.
During an anti-corruption protest in Nicosia on 13 February, police subjected peaceful protesters to beatings, water cannon, chemical irritants and stun grenades.
Amnesty interviewed protesters who were at the demonstration, during which one woman suffered a permanent injury to her sight, and reviewed audio-visual material that revealed violence against peaceful protesters.
