Estrasburgo condena a Turquía por la desaparición de nueve greco-chipriotas en 1974 | Turkey - Turquía |
París. (EFE).- El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos condenó hoy a Turquía por la desaparición en 1974 de nueve greco-chipriotas en Chipre, de los que se tiene diferentes indicios de que fueron detenidos por las fuerzas turcas en operaciones militares durante los meses de julio y agosto de ese año.
El Tribunal consideró que la ausencia de una investigación efectiva y la falta de información a los familiares de esos desaparecidos ha constituido todo este tiempo una vulneración de los derechos de esas familias, por lo que condenó también a Turquía por esa cuestión.
