Two people were arrested in connection with the LGBTI-related attack at Cyprus’ university of technology (Tepak) in Limassol, police said on Friday.

Police were on the hunt for five people, two of which were captured at around midday on Friday. They are two men aged 23 and 26.

Three more people are still wanted, aged 22, 24 and 25.

The incident on Wednesday saw a black-clad group barge into a lecture hall at Tepak university while it was hosting a presentation by Accept-LGBTI Cyprus.

In a video depicting the event, the individuals, also seen wearing masks are heard swearing and saying LGBTI slurs. A fire extinguisher was also set off in the lecture hall.

The episode has been widely condemned as an assault on free speech.
