Police reported that one Greek Cypriot who was killed was beaten to death by Turkish Cypriots on Sunday (11/8) when he and another man were trapped in barbed-wire barricades at Dherenia, 35 miles (60 kilometers) southeast of the divided capital, Nicosia. They were among rock-throwing protesters who broke through Turkish barricades to several hundred Turkish Cypriots in civilian clothes. The incident happened as hundreds of bikers and stone-throwing Greek Cypriots clashed with Turkish troops in protests against the division of the Mediterranean island which Turkey invaded 22 years ago.

"They are supposed to have done all this terrible show to show to the world that there is no freedom of movement in Cyprus. As you can see there is a ceasefire agreement in Cyprus for the last 22 years, and no peace yet signed bewteen the parties. There is a buffer zone which is in the control of the UN. No-one can trespass in this buffer zone. They are trespassing it, UN is not able to stop them. And they have come as far as our borders. They have trespassed.";
