AKEL Calls for Immediate Action by Legal Service Regarding Gender-Based Violence Allegation

AKEL is calling on the Legal Service to take immediate action and thoroughly investigate the allegation of gender-based violence against an active Member of Parliament. The party emphasizes the need for a strict and impartial handling of the case, given that it concerns a public figure in a position of power, and calls for avoiding past mistakes that put Cyprus in a disadvantageous position internationally. AKEL highlights zero tolerance for gender-based violence and the need to protect the victim, demanding exemplary punishment for the perpetrator.
