Turtle Abuse Case in Paphos: Animal Was Dead Before Incident

New developments have emerged in the case of turtle abuse in Paphos, as it was determined that the animal had already died at least two days before the video that caused outrage was recorded. However, the four arrested individuals will be charged with public nuisance due to the disturbance they caused to tourists with their actions and the recording of the incident. An examination of the turtle by experts showed that death had occurred before the abuse was recorded. However, the behavior of the arrested individuals, which provoked negative reactions and complaints, forms the basis for the charge of public nuisance. The incident has provoked strong reactions from animal protection organizations and the general public, while police have made arrests after the video was made public. The charge of public nuisance relates to causing disturbance and disrupting public order.
