Sad Turtle Dies After Bad Treatment

A video shows bad things happening to a sea turtle in Cyprus. The turtle was protected. The turtle died later. Many people are very sad and angry.

Activists want the police to look at this more. They want the four people to be punished. They think the punishment is too small.

A group called Friends of the Earth Cyprus wrote to the government. They do not agree with what the government said. They want all the proof checked again. This happened on a beach in Chlorakas.

The police charged four people. But the charges are for small problems. Activists say this is not enough. They want the people to get a bigger punishment. They wrote a letter to a minister.

The letter asks for new talks with the people. It also asks to check the proof again. The group thinks these people killed the turtle. The law in Cyprus has big fines for this. Activists say the charges are not right.

This shows activists worry about the rules. They want to stop this from happening again. They want better rules to help nature. The government must now answer. This case is important for animals.
