The TC authorities would have smelt a rat and demanded to check each pilgrim off against the previously supplied list to weed out any international human rights lawyers.
Naughty naughty. This is what is known as "give em a foot and they'll take a leg"
The European Courts will be deciding who is naughty-naughty in due course. His Beatitude's expert legal representatives – the very best that money can buy – will find other ways to gather the incriminating evidence needed. I'm afraid this is now a holy, legal war, Freddie. The only war free Cypriots are able to wage given the circumstances.
