Separate Protests by Environmental Activists and Hunters Outside Cyprus Parliament Amid Committee Review
Environmental activists and hunters held separate protests outside the House of Representatives as the Environment Committee began examining a proposal to assess the impact of environmental activist organisations. Police maintained a strong presence, including deployment of their specialist Ajax unit, to manage the situation.
The Animal Party opposed the proposal, viewing it as an attempt to target environmental activists and citizens engaged in protecting nature. Their demonstration featured banners stating "activism is not a crime" and called for attention to poaching rather than activists.
Simultaneously, dozens of hunters protested what they consider harassment during lawful hunting activities. The Cyprus Hunting Federation highlighted the ongoing issues of harassment against hunters while reiterating their condemnation of illegal hunting practices.
