The Cyprus Federation of Environmental Organizations (OPOC) condemns the abuse of a dead turtle by employees of the Chlorakas Community Council, describing it as unacceptable behavior. OPOC emphasizes that this act, regardless of whether the turtle was alive or dead, raises issues of abuse of power and lack of empathy. They call for a full investigation of the case by the Police and the assignment of responsibilities, in order to send a message of zero tolerance for such behavior.
