Shameful statistics on domestic violence: Men beat and send their partners to hospitals

The numbers regarding domestic violence cause dizziness and deep concern. The situation has reached the point of no return, which is also evidenced by the statistics we have obtained, which concern only the province of Nicosia.

2-3 complaints a day

According to official data, at the Nicosia Crime Investigation Department, from the beginning of 2021 until December 21, at the end of this month, 1,072 complaints have been made about such incidents, which include physical violence and sexual offenses. This means, roughly, that there are about 2-3 complaints per day, which indicates the magnitude of the problem.

According to a competent person who spoke to “P”, all these complaints are evaluated by competent executives of the TAE and are examined accordingly. He clarified that the vast majority of complaints are from women victims of such crimes, since in many cases men exploit their physical strength.

298 prosecutions

Until the second ten days of the last month of 2021, the competent unit of the TAE Nicosia has taken the appropriate actions for criminal prosecution in 298 cases, also a very high number. Almost one case per day.

Of these, 248 cases involve offenses punishable by up to five years in prison, while the rest deal with felonies, in which case the sentences are much longer.

Among the 50 serious cases there are those that have to do with the following offenses:

  • 4 assassination attempts
  • 18 rape cases
  • 5 injuries (cut / wound from a sharp object)
  • 11 cases of severe bodily injury (bone fracture)

95 arrests

Unfortunately, the statistics of shame do not end at this point. This is because an arrest presupposes the issuance of a warrant by a District Court, which must be convinced of the reasons why a police investigator is requesting such a thing.

92 direct listings

The issue is “thickened” even more if we consider that 92 direct cases have been registered, which means that they are very serious cases for which an immediate trial is required.

32 defendants

Another element that shows the seriousness of the crimes against women is the fact that the Nicosia District Court has issued a decision to keep 32 defendants in the Central Prison until the trial of the case.
