Five Greek Cypriots found not guilty by military court in north

The five Greek Cypriots who were arrested in the north in July were on Friday found not guilty of the charges they faced at a military court in northern Nicosia.

One of the five had been charged with illegally entering the north when the five crossed into the north via the Strovilia crossing point, near Famagusta, on July 19, while the other four stand accused of aiding and abetting the illegal entry.

Three of the five are now free, while the other two remain on bail, subject to a civilian court case in Trikomo, where they stand accused of privacy violations.

That court case will continue next Wednesday.
