Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
NICOSIA, CYPRUS – It is difficult for an illegal alien in Cyprus to find comfort, hope, and compassion, which may be why unlike other Mediterranean regions, Cyprus does not experience a high amount of illegal immigration.
Less than 10 percent of refugees obtain asylum, the AFP reports, and those who lose their jobs must find new ones within a month or risk deportation.
Deportations have increased, the AFP reports, which, coupled with a sour economy, renders Cyprus an unlikely destination for illegal migrants.
Groups like Amnesty International and The Council of Europe Human Rights have complained about Cyprus’ heavy-handed treatment of aliens, AFP reports. Conditions of detention, they say, are prison-like, too extensive, and without proper quality of life.
