The Supreme Court has suspended the appeal proceedings of a defendant who filed an appeal against his detention pending trial, two days after he escaped from his detention facility.
The Court of Appeal recently ruled that, under the circumstances, it could not accept to hear the appeal, the hearing of which was suspended, on the grounds that the appellant, by escaping, "flouted the very system of justice".
According to the decision, appellant was referred on 1 February for trial before the Paphos Criminal Court, which will meet on 2 March, and his detention was ordered until then.
