Our View: Police need to tread carefully over attacks on women

Everyone condemned the weekend attack on a young Turkish Cypriot woman in Ayia Napa by thugs. Everyone agreed that such violence against a woman was totally unacceptable behaviour which brought shame on our society and had to be dealt with without delay.

It was the type of universal condemnation everyone expected, especially as the victim was Turkish Cypriot, which made the situation quite dangerous. Both sides, however, acted responsibly, taking a clear stand against the violence.
