CYPRUS: 11 protestors arrested and kept in custody for 12 hours during a peaceful demonstration in northern part of Cyprus, 4 of whom are New Cyprus Party (YKP) members (pdf):

"Yesterday, on Wednesday, 18 May 2011, the former Cyprus Turkish Airlines (KTHY) employees and a group of supporters from various trade unions and political parties have organised a demonstration to demand the social rights of former KTHY employees. As is known, KTHY was the sole airline company of the Turkish Cypriot Community with a capacity of around 400 employees and went bankrupt and was closed down by the Turkish Cypriot administration back in November 2010.

Since then, the former employees have been claiming their rights by setting up a tent next to the premises of the Airlines in order to ask for their various social rights and they have been waiting to be paid their salaries for over the last seven months."

Our work is only possible with your support.
