A 45-year-old Greek Cypriot woman arrested at the Ayios Dhometios checkpoint is due to appear before a Turkish military court in Nicosia on Thursday.

The woman is being held at a police station in north Nicosia pending her court appearance.

She was detained on Saturday by Turkish Cypriot police as she was exiting the Ayios Dhometios roadblock, after failing to undergo an identity check when leaving the north the previous day.

Her husband reported the arrest to Ayios Dhometios Police Station on Saturday, informing officers that his wife had been taken into custody.
