Dozens of people with disabilities protested outside the presidential palace on Tuesday against new government legislation on disability benefits.
They held placards reading: ‘No To Our Exclusion From Society’, ‘Dignity Means Rights not Charity’, and ‘“Reform Does Not Mean Regression’.
The Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind organised the protest, with support from other groups including the Pancyprian Organisation of the Deaf and the Paraplegic Organisation.
