This abscess must be lanced, and the State must take responsibility,\u201d the party said.<br \/>\nEarly on Wednesday, officers from the Alien and Immigration Service arrived at an apartment building in Limassol, acting on a tip about undocumented migrants living there.<br \/>\nPolice said that as the officers entered the apartment, two occupants attempted to flee, with one young man jumping out of a window and succumbing to his injuries from the fall.<br \/>\nAnother person jumped onto an adjacent balcony, suffering serious fractures and injuries, and was rushed to the hospital.<br \/>\nTen people who were found living in the apartment were taken to the Limassol Police Headquarters, on suspicion of being undocumented migrants.<br \/>\nLefteris Kyriakou, head of the Limassol Criminal Investigation Department (CID), told the Cyprus News Agency that in such immigration checks, a search warrant is not legally required.<br \/>\nRead more:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-in-cyprus-com wp-block-embed-in-cyprus-com\"><\/figure>\n<p>fall. migrant raid, investigation, exploitation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AKEL has called for an immediate investigation into the death of a Bangladeshi national who tried to evade a police migrant raid by jumping from a building in Limassol.
