Six people involved in a fracas at the Paphos immigration service last week were released on conditions on Monday by Paphos district court.

Paphos police spokesman Michalis Nicolaou told the Cyprus News Agency that the six persons, aged 15 to 51, were charged in writing and released. The trial was set for November 28.

According to police, the six, who are related to each other, visited the Paphos district offices of the immigration service to submit a written application at 12.30pm on Thursday.

However, the staff explained to them this could be done only after an appointment, which is when they started causing a disturbance.

Police said they allegedly attacked the duty officers who intervened to maintain order.

Two officers sustained abrasions on various parts of their bodies. They were transferred to the Paphos general hospital where they received first aid and were released.

Furthermore, damage was caused to the personal property of one of the officers.

The six were arrested, of whom the two were remanded for three days on Friday.
