It is amazing how much resistance from both sides of the divide and for the UN has been bestowed upon these true Cypriots of diverse backgrounds or religion, ethnicity and linguistics, since the movement was started. Good going people you have tried your best.

Occupiers have just issued a Press Release...

We are a multicommunal movement in Cyprus that has started its protest parallel to the global occupy movement against global injustice and are demanding the demilitarisation and reuniufication of our island.

Since the 19th of November we have been occupying the area in the buffer zone that has been dividing our island for decades. We have been organising cultural events, artistic workshops and music and poetry evenings as well as an internet radio station in the abandoned building of the Ledra/Lockmaci buffer zone in the center of Nicosia.

On the night of the 6th of April the Republic of Cyprus police force entered the building, used violence against peaceful protestors and made more than 20 arrests. One person was injured and carried to hospital. People gathered in solidarity and the police used violence again to disperse them arresting two more protestors.

We condemn the violent stance of the police and demand the release of all the protestors that were arrested. We state that we are determined to continue our protest for peace and reunification of our island and call for the support of the people of Cyprus and the global occupy movement.
