- A memorial and protest rally marking three years since the Tempi train disaster will take place at Eleftheria Square in Nicosia on Saturday at 5 pm.
The event, organised by the Solidarity Network of Greek Citizens of Cyprus, aims to honour the victims of the tragic incident while also advocating for justice. As part of the gathering, attendees can expect speeches and limited artistic participation, as announced by the group.
Organisers expressed that this rally is a continuation of solidarity actions, aligning with demonstrations occurring in Greece and across various European capitals. The Association of Relatives of the Tempi Victims remains a central figure in these efforts, seeking accountability as court proceedings unfold.
The Nicosia event shares a common slogan with rallies in other locations: “Either their profits or our lives.” This phrase reflects the collective frustration over safety concerns and the demand for thorough investigations into the circumstances leading to the disaster.
By gathering at Eleftheria Square, participants intend to remember those who lost their lives in the Tempi disaster, show support for bereaved families, and push for a comprehensive examination of the responsibilities involved. The event represents not just a moment of remembrance but also a call for justice that resonates beyond borders.
