She is being led today to her last residence[/B] from the Holy Church of Apostle Luke in the settlement of Agios Athanasios, in Limassol, Panagiota Solomi from the occupied village of Komi Kepir.
She is one of the most emblematic figures and symbol of the struggle to determine the fate of the missing and to claim the inalienable human rights to return to our occupied territories as all our Mothers of the Missing were and are.
Panagiota was the wife of the until recently missing Paul Solomis and mother of her 18 year old child, Paul Solomis, also until recently missing, who were captured by the occupying troops and were missing until 2018, when their sacred remains were found and identified from a mass grave in the occupied land of Karpasia.
She was imprisoned for almost three years. She was forcibly expelled[/B] by the occupying authorities from her ancestral home and her beloved village.
In the refugee camp, she demanded daily, with stubbornness and dignity from the occupier, to be informed about the fate of her loved ones, but without the occupying power showing any sensitivity or humanity for decades, leaving Panagiota and the rest of her family to live the daily torment of the uncertainty of the fate of her loved ones. The callous and inhuman behaviour of the occupying power is typical of its policy to solve the problem of our missing persons, a problem that is a festering wound for the families and causes so much pain and suffering. We promise that we will continue the struggle so that one day your holy relics as well as those of your husband and child will return and be laid to rest in the native land of Karpasia, in your beloved village of Komi Kepir," Commissioner Fotiou said in a statement.
May her memory be eternal.
