Alassa residents protest community leader court decision

Alassa residents cut off the Limassol – Platres road on Sunday as a sign of protest against a court decision to nullifying the election of Savvas Savva as community leader.

The decision was taken on October 9, citing that Savva is not a resident of the Alassa community.

Residents reacted to the decision after Savvas’ rival took the case to court. Savva received 54.55 per cent of the votes.

Some 60 to 70 villages blocked the road at 11am for 15 minutes, handing out leaflets to drivers who were stuck.
