A 33-year-old man was detained for illegal stay in the territory of the Republic while the deportation procedures are underway.
According to Pafos Assistant Police Director Michael Ioannou, members of the Pafos Crime Prevention Unit stopped for checking a pedestrian, who did not have any evidence of his identity in his possession, yesterday Sunday in Pafos.
A check carried out to verify his identity revealed that he was a foreigner aged 33 years old. Subsequently, a check through the Aliens and Immigration Service established that the above person is a applicant for political asylum and his application was rejected on 19.2.21 and since then he has remained in the Republic illegally.
He was asked whether he had filed any appeal against the rejection of his application without producing anything. He was subsequently arrested for the offence of unlawful presence in the territory of the Republic and detained. Procedures are also being carried out by the Aliens and Immigration Service for his deportation.
