Thx ppl, but the fact is… 22 days in jail...

[Zox]

Actually, all about this situation is overreacted. Who cares anyway? You can have free food, free heating, free guardians… What do you need more? Anyway… freedom is for poets only. Human and child’s rights are just the phrase. So… bee happy.
And, live your lies.

Zox, is your wife in jail because she refused to leave from Cyprus? If your wife agreed to move out of Cyprus wouldn't they allow her to leave? Maybe it would be better if you moved out of Cyprus first and then take your case to the courts or even EU courts?

[Sotos]

Do you think this has something to do with the GPS thing you were doing?

[Zox]

Ok Sotos. She can go out of Cyprus. Kids can lose one year of theirs schools, educations, their life’s… they are almost Cypriots now… all their friends are there, language, religion (we will see about that later) … And, yes… I am almost sure that is some connections … but I do not understand – why the hell Cypriots don’t want new technologies?

[Sotos]

Maybe because someone else is making these new technologies also? Someone big with connections ...

Zox I understand about your kids school and friends and stuff but I am sure that if you had asked them to choose it wouldnt be their mom in jail for a month. Nothing good is coming out of insiting on staying somwhere where people are gunning out for you. Maybe she should just ASK to be deported, get your kids to your country and then you can sue them or something through the courts. Right now you are a family split up, I am sure your wife is suffering your kids are going nuts with worry all for a year of school and a bunch of crooked officials that dont want to do the right thing.

NON-EU Nationals will have to demonstrate a “sufficient” knowledge of the Greek language and of Cypriot history and culture to secure long-term residency in the Cyprus Republic, according to a government proposed plan in implementing a European Directive on non-EU national residency rights.

But immigrant support groups such as KISA have spoken out against the plan, which they consider a thinly veiled effort to deport the maximum number of immigrants since few of them will be able to meet the requirements of the plan.

In the government’s proposed plan, foreigners seeking long-term residency will have to fulfil all of the following conditions:

1) Have a reliable source of income and not depend on the state for economic assistance.

2) Carry health insurance that “covers all risks that insurance companies normally cover for Cypriot citizens.”

3) Have a “sufficient” knowledge of the Greek language

4) Have a “sufficient” knowledge of Cypriot history and culture

5) “Not constitute a threat to public order and safety according to article 18IA”.

6) Have it be established that their “stay in the government-controlled regions was not based upon any deceptions or false claims”.

According to Phileleftheros, Chief Immigration Officer Anni Shakalis said that any third-country foreigners who complete five years of legal residency in Cyprus will not be deported from the island; instead they will be granted a temporary permit to stay on the island until the House votes upon the new plan, however long it may take for that to happen.

Once the plan is implemented, the non-nationals will have an 18-month grace period in which they can meet their residency requirements.

Shakalis said that Cyprus is the seventh nation out of 25 that is harmonising with the EU directive.

The plan also includes legislation on allowing for the relocation to Cyprus of the spouse and underage children of foreigners who are granted a minimum two-year residency permit.

The plan also foresees penalties of imprisonment for up to eight years and fines of up to £20,000 for all those who assist others in gaining illegal admission to the Cyprus Republic.

Foreigners will be able to learn Greek at the Educational Centres of the Education Ministry. Greek courses specifically designed for foreigners may also be established via the university.

Concerns have been voiced that in its demands of non-EU nationals to have a “sufficient knowledge” of the Greek language and of Cypriot history and culture, the government will be able to turn away large numbers of people, since the word “sufficient” is open to interpretation.
