Greek Cypriot daily
Phileleftheros yesterday (14 June) reported that in a case, which started on
Tuesday (13 June) in South Nicosia District Court, the issue of the accusation
of the Greek Cypriot administration for negligence by the family of a missing
person was taken up. The wife and three children of the missing named
Christofis Pasha sued the Greek Cypriot administration for not informing them
in due time of the fate of their relative who died in 1974 and for making
explanation after 25 years.
According to the
daily, the family of Pasha had informed the government that he was lost in
1974 and his name was put on the missing persons list. However, during the
exhumations in 1999 at a cemetery in Lakadamia the remains of Pasha was found
and handed over to his family. The wife and three children of Pasha was now
taking legal action against the Greek Cypriot government for not informing
them about the fact that Pasha was buried in a cemetery in Lakadamia with a
marked grave and for wrongly listing him as a missing person for 25 years.
