About 100 motorcyclists held protests at the Bostanci, Metehan, Ledra Palace and Lokmaci crossing points on 7 August. The events were dedicated to the memory of Tasos Isaac and Solomos Solomou, who were killed during clashes in the Deryneia area in 1996.
According to the police, at around 15:11 the participants first arrived at the Astromeritis crossing point, after which they headed to Lefkosa.
In the capital, the motorcyclists successively held protests at the Metehan, Ledra Palace and Lokmaci crossing points. For security reasons, traffic through Metehan and Lokmaci was temporarily suspended and resumed as normal after the protest ended.
The protest took place as part of a commemorative motorcycle rally held in memory of Tasos Isaac and Solomos Solomou, who were killed during clashes near the border in Deryneia in 1996.
