π Poachers in Kokkino Trimithia (not far from Nicosia): A rabbit chase turns into a car rally β how young criminals defied the law and inspectors!
A wild chase involving three poachers took place in Kokkino Trimithia, also involving road services, as the poachers used a fake vehicle.
Time: 12:30 AM. A hunting patrol on a special mission near the Kokkino Trimithia gymnasium noticed a vehicle moving along dirt roads and fields with stationary roof lights turned on. The passenger was using a portable spotlight to search for rabbits.
The hunting inspectors approached the vehicle with their lights off and signaled the driver to stop for inspection. However, instead of complying, the driver sped up and tried to escape, triggering a chase. During the pursuit, the passenger constantly shone the spotlight into the eyes of the patrol car driver and even collided with the inspectorsβ service vehicle before both were detained.
An episodic chase of poachers in Kokkino Trimithia - Three arrested. The driver jumped out of the cabin onto the rear of the vehicle and managed to escape into the trees and wild vegetation. Two detainees were taken to the Kokkino Trimithia police station, where the escaped driver soon appeared with his father, aggressively demanding their money back and claiming they came for a rally, not rabbit hunting.
An investigation is underway by the hunting service against the three young men for refusing to stop for inspection. Road services are also investigating five more serious violations:
β’ Being in an unregistered vehicle
β’ Use of a fake roof
β’ Lack of registration plates
β’ No insurance coverage
β’ Presence of fake bumpers
β’ Installation of stationary lights on the roof and front
It is worth noting that this vehicle has already been chased twice in the same area over the last one and a half months and 15 days ago, but each time it managed to evade the hunting inspectors.

π Irresponsible parking: healthy drivers massively occupy disabled parking spots
An outrageous case was recorded in the parking lot of a local supermarket: two cars without the appropriate permits took up three specialized spots intended for people with disabilities.
Incident details
- The incident occurred on August 18
- The offending vehicles lacked disability identification signs
- Witnesses confirm: the drivers had no visible health limitations
Alarming trend
As social media users note, such violations have long ceased to be rare:
"This is not an isolated case but a systemic problem. Many drivers consciously ignore the needs of people with disabilities, considering these parking spots their privilege"
Consequences of irresponsibility
1. Artificial obstacles are created for people with limited mobility
2. A culture of disregard for social norms is formed
3. The problem of accessible environments in cities worsens
Experts call for:
- Stricter enforcement of parking rules
- Increasing drivers' social responsibility
- Introducing more significant fines
"Parking in disabled spots is not just a traffic violation but a demonstration of a lack of basic human empathy," activists emphasize.
The situation requires immediate government intervention and a review of approaches to ensuring the rights of people with special needs.

π 13-year-old Syrian teenager who moved to the βTRNCβ reunites with his mother in Turkey
The authorities of the unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) deported 13-year-old Syrian refugee Majid Alashtar to Turkey, where he was reunited with his mother. This was reported by representatives of the UN and the Bi-communal Crime Prevention Committee.
Earlier, on August 6, the teenager left a shelter for underage migrants in the government-controlled part of Nicosia without permission and illegally crossed the dividing line of the island.
Last week, the parents of Majidβs classmates addressed an open letter to the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, urging officials to formally ascertain the boyβs wishes. They emphasized that the state, acting as his guardian, was obliged to ensure his safety. However, none of the responsible officials responded to the appeal.
Familyβs story
After his father was killed during the Syrian conflict, Majid fled to Turkey with his mother, brothers, and sisters. A year and a half ago, his mother illegally brought him to Cyprus in hopes of a better life.
Arriving on the island at the age of 11, he came under the care of social services, attended school, and lived in a state shelter for children without parents. Teachers and classmates described him as a kind and sociable child who quickly won peopleβs affection.
After turning 13, Majid was transferred to a youth center overseen by the Hope for Children organization. However, he was unhappy in the new place: the center housed troubled teenagers, which created a tense atmosphere.
Despite living in Cyprus, the boy stayed in touch with his family through messaging apps. The investigation revealed that none of the responsible staff ever tried to contact his mother.
Escape
On August 6, Majid told his caretakers he was going to the old part of Nicosia to get something to eat. He was allowed to go out unaccompanied, but never returned. A few hours later, the centerβs administration reported his disappearance to the police.
Teachers assumed the teenager might have faced pressure from older Syrians. They expressed surprise at his escape, as he had never previously shown such intentions and seemed content with his life on the island.
Six days later, Turkish Cypriot media reported that Majid was in the north of the island under the care of local authorities. According to some reports, he decided to move to the TRNC and then to Turkey out of longing for his family.
At the same time, his legal status in Cyprus remained uncertain: as a Syrian refugee, he had limited rights due to the suspension of such applications. It is unclear how he managed to cross the buffer zone unnoticed.
Unresolved questions
This story caused a stir in Cypriot society, raising several questions for the authorities:
β’ Why did none of the responsible officials attempt to contact Majidβs family before his disappearance?
β’ On what grounds was he allowed to use a phone without monitoring the content of his conversations?
β’ Why was a 13-year-old child allowed to move freely around the city without supervision?
The situation highlights systemic problems in the handling of underage refugees, requiring urgent solutions.
