AKEL[/B] expresses its its support to the National Guard commando SYOP who was injured yesterday in the line of duty in the sea area of Lara and wishes him a speedy recovery. "The whole of Cyprus is at his side in the battle for his life," it said in a statement.
At the same time, AKEL said that answers must be given about the circumstances under which the accident occurred and the measures taken.
"Given that two fatal accidents at the National Guard had occurred in the last year and a half, questions and concerns are raised about the safety measures taken," it stresses,
AKEL says it will immediately register the issue with the Defence Committee of the Parliament in order to get explanations from the competent ministry and study ways to minimise the chances of such accidents.
"The lives and safety of the men and women serving in the National Guard must be non-negotiable," AKEL concludes in its statement.
