In August 2016, George Low and his friend Ben were attacked while on holiday in Cyprus. George was killed and Ben seriously injured. The two attackers then fled to the unrecognised state of the TRNC and were arrested. Up to now Turkey has refused to hand them over to stand trial.

The aim of this petition is to urge the UK government to exert pressure on Turkey to hand over the two men accused, so as to stand trial for the murder and attempted murder of the two British citizens in Cyprus. As of now, both suspects were arrested and put on trial in the TRNC for illegal trespassing into a military zone. Both were free within a year and a half and have fled to Turkey to live their lives, with no consequences for the crimes they committed in Cyprus.
