CCMC RAW

CCMC RAW is a new series of short comment-free clips captured from significant events, exchanges and experiences. We aim to show you the raw and the real with no lengthy post-production that often reduces immediacy. It also provides the space for you, the viewer, to draw your own conclusions.

Our first installment is about a new draft NGO law proposed in the northern part of Cyprus. More than 30 civil society organisations led by the Cyprus NGO Network raised their objections to the new draft law at a public gathering on 5 May 2010. “The law was prepared with no consultation with civil society,” said Bulent Kanol, Management Centre of the Mediterranean. “And it includes articles which violate freedom of association in the Turkish Cypriot community in Cyprus.”
