"Rising Anti-Migrant Violence in Cyprus Leads to Multiple Arrests"

Police in Cyprus have arrested 20 people following a march against migrants and refugees in the city of Limassol, which turned violent with mobs vandalizing property. Five people were injured during the unrest, and witnesses reported attacks on foreigners. The violence continued into the early hours of Sunday, with Asian delivery drivers and storefronts belonging to migrants being targeted. The incidents come after clashes between Cypriots and migrants in Paphos, where authorities have been removing Syrians from a condemned apartment complex. Cyprus, a front-line country on the Mediterranean migrant route, has been struggling to cope with an influx of undocumented migrants and refugees.
