[01] Committee on Missing Persons appeals for information
Greek Cypriot Member of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) Theophilos
Theophilou has called on all those who know or have information about
the burial sites of missing persons, Turkish Cypriot or Greek Cypriot
missing to give them to the Committee.
In statements to CNA on the occasion of the "Missing Persons Day"
declared by the House of Representatives for October 29, he said that
"the issue of missing persons is the most tragic aspect of the drama
which the people of Cyprus have to live with, for decades.
"The issue of missing persons and the drama of their relatives is at the
same time an open wound for all the Cypriot society which includes both
Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots", he added.
[02] DNA results for 22-year-old thought to be missing Ben Needham
negative
DNA tests on a young man thought to be Ben Needham, who went missing
when he was 21 months old, on the Greek island of Kos, came back negative
on Tuesday.
Police Spokesman Andreas Aggelides told the CNA that the Cyprus Police
were informed by the Institute of Genetics about the test results and
they will now notify the Interpol on the matter.
The case of missing Ben reopened after Greek authorities were handed a
video of a man seen in Cyprus who resembles a computer generated image
of how he would look now, aged 23.
