Of the 1,120 people held at Nicosia Central Prison, 599 (53.5%) are foreigners. As the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, said in an interview with Phileleftheros, the Ministry of Justice and the Prosecutor General's Office are closely engaged in solving the problem of overcrowding in the country's only prison. In the near future, foreigners convicted of minor crimes will be deported. In addition, their first and last names will be included in the stop list.
