Extreme Aggression: Attempt to Arrest Cypriot Farmers in the Dead Zone – Tractor Damaged (VIDEO / IMAGES)

A Greek Cypriot farmer, Gabriel Gerolemu, experienced a terrifying ordeal in the Dead Zone when he was surrounded by members of the occupying army while working in his field. According to his complaint, the soldiers were particularly aggressive, pointed weapons at him, threatened him, and caused extensive damage to his tractor, breaking windows and destroying parts. Mr. Gerolemu accused the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) of inaction, as UN soldiers limited themselves to recording the incident with their mobile phones, refusing to intervene for his protection. The incident has been reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and demonstrates the escalation of tension in the Dead Zone.
