Four press organizations in North Cyprus have postponed a joint protest originally scheduled for today in front of Nicosia Police Headquarters to Monday at 14:30.
The decision was announced in a joint statement signed by the Press Workers' Union, the Cyprus Turkish Journalists' Association, the Foreign Press Association, and the News Cameramen's Association.
The organizations stated that the postponement was necessary to allow journalists to follow candidates' applications to the Supreme Election Board and to fulfill the public's right to access information.
The statement also noted that progress has been made regarding recent attacks on journalists: "Within the past 48 hours, some individuals who verbally and physically assaulted press workers in courthouses have been identified by police, taken into custody, and brought before the judiciary with charges read against them."
The organizations emphasized that they are closely monitoring every stage of the process and will make their voices heard at Monday's demonstration.
