Meeting- Possible action against police operation"Broom" (by KISA)

Dear friends

as you may already know, recently we are once again witness to the victimisation of migrants who live in the old part of Nicosia by the police and, unfortunately, by central and local government officials. Migrants are presented as the problematic element in the old town, which “terrorises” residents and passers-by and there should therefore be measures to address it, the most “imaginative” of which is apparently the police operation “broom”. An operation through which people are indiscriminately arrested and taken to police stations in handcuffs on the basis of the colour of their skin. An operation which indiscriminately violates house doors and invades bedrooms while people are asleep in order supposedly to combat “crime”.



For more information as well as our demands, please see KISA's press release.



Following the above mentioned police operation “broom”, KISA calls for an urgent meeting with the representatives of migrant communities, NGOs and all concerned citizens in order to exchange views and opinions on possible action and mobilization.



We would therefore like to urge you all to come to this meeting, which will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, 30 September at 6:00pm at our premises, 48 Arsinoes street , old Nicosia .





Thanks & Regards



The Steering Committee
