Arrested Abroad in Cyprus

• This service is specifically designed for English-speaking expats living in Cyprus or individuals from English-speaking countries who find themselves or their acquaintances facing arrest in Cyprus. 
• Whether it's a misunderstanding, a minor infraction, or more serious charges, our legal team is prepared to offer comprehensive support and guidance through the Cypriot legal system.

• Right to a lawyer and immediately after arrest.
• Provision of a Letter of Rights in a language the detainee understands.
• Right to privacy during lawyer-client communications.
• Access to a lawyer during questioning, evidence collection, and court appearances.
• Legal remedies available if these rights are violated, including compensation.

Cyprus law, particularly L.163(I)/2005, enforces these rights by mandating police obligations regarding the detainee's access to legal representation and the confidentiality of their communications. This framework aligns with both EU directives and the European Convention of Human Rights, ensuring a fair trial and protection against coercion.
