Inmate reports stabbing incident at Central Prisons

A 40-year-old Syrian inmate at the Central Prisons reported being attacked with knives by two fellow countrymen in wing 1B last Tuesday. According to his lawyer, Dimitris Apaisiotis, the victim sustained injuries during the assault. The legal representative alleges that prison authorities failed to transport the inmate to a hospital, providing treatment at the facility's infirmary instead. Further allegations suggest that prison management and the police have not initiated an official investigation into the matter. The inmate has requested a transfer to a hospital for proper medical care and a formal inquiry into the attack. Formal letters regarding the incident have been sent to the Chief of Police, the Minister of Justice, and the Nicosia CID. Reports indicate that this is not the first time such complaints have been raised regarding access to external medical facilities for inmates. The prison administration has yet to address the specific claims regarding police involvement.
