Some answers... what is going on...

But I can see clearly now what is going on.

Government officers want to present us like criminals, and they denied that we apply by all documentation for regular visa extension.

All latest stories come up with (new) EU regulative, (let say, we do not know about them) BUT

Everyone forgot than we have RIGHT by the existing CY law to bee there like holder and OWNERS of the LOCAL Companies. / You can check that on the official government site. We did all by the book.

So…

If some (any) government did not respect they own law, theirs own regulations, why the hell they approve my company there????

AND, WHY THEY RECEIVE our money, out TAX payment, our VAT payments????


It’s look like… ok pal, we’ll get your money, but – you can send that from your origin country, it’s cheaper if you even do not visit us. Maybe, you will receive some recipe.

And… my friends, we did not took anyone’s bread from his moth, we was doing something what no one make or made there, our technologies are totally new for that country.

What is the problem there?

To the joseph.k

Thank you for all nice words, good will, and everything… but I cannot accept any kind of help like yours right now. I am destroyed financially, morally and… name it. Just looking forward to see my wife free and my kids by my side.

I do not care about money any more, about my goods there, I will build all that from the scratch again, I am a respectable scientist wherever I decide to go after Cyprus. Anyway – I cannot afford to pay anyone else at this moment.

The point of all this posts are – let us alone, if we’re not welcome on Cyprus, why you do not just tell us that? I don’t want to live where I am not welcome.
Why the hell they keep my wife in the prison for 12 days? Just send her out, even if you broke your own law… what the hell….

Hi Zox,

thanks for reading my long post. I can only imagine how broken you must feel inside. What has happened to you is, I consider, no less than moral, financial and psychological violence: depriving you of your freedom of movement, your freedom of employment in a European state of your choice (both of which you are guaranteed under European law) and, of course, your loved ones.

To be clear, however, I do not require payment of any kind. Nor material compensation for any way in which I may be able to help. I am deeply convinced of the need for society in general to recognise your suffering and those like you. Did not someone say once, a long time ago, that a society can be judged by the way it treats its sick, vulnerable and foreigners? I do not wish to belong to or be associated with a society that is scarred by nationalistic small-mindedness. I do not know of a culture that has not been immeasurably enriched by the foreigners such as yourself.

Though I can offer you nothing to replace the material goods you have been forced to leave behind or help financially to repair the damage the authorities of Cyprus have caused you and your family, if you still have the strength I would like to try help you to bring about some sort of justice. I fear that not to try would only be to reinforce the machinery of a state that acts with impunity in many areas of human rights and to perpetuate the illusion that Cyprus is a modern state merely because it is a member of the European Union.

I am conscious that your removal from Cyprus has severely limited whatever influence you may have had when you were here (indeed, that is one of the fundamental purposes of deportation - to definitively weaken your cry for help to the point where there is nothing but silence) so I am prepared to act on your behalf, should you wish me to do so, in whatever ways we may agree upon together, to try to bring the authorities to account and to free your wife from arbitrary detention. As I stressed in my initial post, I am not a professional or experienced grass-roots activist, but I do believe it is time to take a stand, however small in the beginning. And I would not accept payment in any form were it offered.

If you have enough left inside, perhaps we can make a difference together, and who knows, perhaps others will take courage and join us. Don't give in to them. Don't be forgotten.

Two weeks... still my kids are home alone, my wife is in jail... no one care about the situation.
Kids are without any incomes, they are totally alone...

And, my wife is still in jail, they afraid – maybe she will run away from Cyprus?? Or what ?? ?? They want her out of Cyprus anyway!

Zox, I can see how you despair. I cannot begin to comprehend your anguish. Perhaps I can help in a small way.

My wife and I have discussed the idea and I present it to you like this: if you agree, we are willing to have your children stay with us at our home until this terrible episode has been resolved. At such a time, we would help to return them to you and your wife (whether she is eventually deported or released here in Cyprus). We are a family of six, with four young ones aged from 2 years to 10 years (all of whom speak fluent Greek). We can offer them a warm, safe, caring place to stay, somewhere to share their worries adults who may be able to give them some comforting perspective, where they could call you from our home anytime they wished, day or night. We would be able to give them a cell phone so that they need not be out of touch with you at all.

There is much that is out of your hands now and I am sure that both your children and wife suffer the same degrading sense of helplessness as you do. I am so saddened to think of the lasting damage this may leave on your children. If it is appropriate, if you will give us your permission, we would be honoured to help, even in this inadequate way.

Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to take up the idea or any other idea that you may have for us to help. We (my wife and I) are willing to try anything that may be within our limited abilities.
