The Civil Registry and Immigration Department of the Ministry of Interior, regarding today's reports titled "They expel a student for having AIDS - They ask the government to intervene" and "They forgot my son in the Philippines", reports the following.
With regard to the first newspaper report entitled "They expel student for having AIDS - They ask the Government to intervene", the Department of Civil Registry and Immigration informs that in compliance with the provisions of the existing legislation and in particular the Aliens and Immigration Act, it must prohibit the entry into the country or carry out deportations of those persons who are carriers or suffer from contagious or infectious diseases and who pose a threat to public health.
Following a letter from the University, which the person in question attends, stating that it would not allow him to attend for reasons of public health protection, the Immigration Department did indeed proceed to send a letter inviting him to leave for his country.
Today, following a certificate received from the competent State Medical Services that the student is not contagious, the Immigration Department will proceed immediately with the issuance of a residence permit to the student on the condition that he must undergo clinic-laboratory attendance at the Gregorian Clinic.
With regard to the second report concerning an 18-year-old Cypriot who is stranded in the Philippines without travel documents, since they have expired, the Department of Interior informs that the Ministry of Interior has issued a Laissez-passer travel document to the young man since the beginning of January last year, so that he can travel at any time. Therefore, his return to Cyprus is not related to a lack of travel documents, but to a number of other problems that are being addressed diplomatically by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
