National event in Cyprus
KISA presented the results of the new HUMA report in Nicosia during an event hosted by the European parliament office in Cyprus. Theses results and recommendations were completed by presentations by a representative from the Ombudsman office, researchers, the president of the ethics committee of the Cypriot medial organisation and PICUM. In particular came out of it that better information of health professionals and migrants about their rights is needed, as well as a sanctuarisation of the health facilities in order to limit (fear of) arrests of migrants. But it was noted that the overall situation in Cyprus is very unfriendly to migrants, and that the awaited change of the health system again postponed.
