IRREGULAR IMMIGRANTS IN AKAKI -1 adult and 6 minors Somalis

Seven immigrants, six children and one adult, passed yesterday from the occupied areas to the free areas of the island via the Akaki area. They were spotted by the Police and then taken over by the competent state services.

The immigrants were found to be of Somali origin, a 24-year-old woman with children aged 6 and 2.5, as well as four other persons aged 16-17 years old. As they stated, their intention is to seek political asylum.

Members of the Aliens and Immigration Service of Nicosia and a Welfare Officer have subsequently settled these people’s transfer to hosting spaces.
