schema:articleBody	The president of Cyprus on Thursday ordered the release of a man jailed for breaching a coronavirus curfew to see his girlfriend, officials said. A court sentenced the 35-year-old Cypriot man to 45 days in prison on Tuesday, after police caught him violating restrictions on movement and breaking a curfew in March. A public outcry followed the ruling, which the island's attorney general said was inappropriate. President Nicos Anastasiades agreed. "Exercising the powers provided to him by the Constitution, following a recommendation by the Attorney General, the president decided to suspend the sentencing," a statement by deputy government spokesman Panayiotis Sentonas said. The president's ruling took into account that two days after the incident, a decision was made that "offences of this nature are punishable by on-the-spot fines". The man told officers he was travelling to visit his girlfriend when stopped for breaking the curfew shortly after 9 pm on March 25. A curfew from 9 pm to 6 am was introduced on March 24 in a bid to contain the coronavirus pandemic. The district court in Famagusta on the island's east coast had found the defendant was aware of the lockdown and chose to defy it. "Some believe they are above the law and their fellow citizens, ignore the decrees and continue with their lives as if nothing is happening," the court said. The Phileleftheros newspaper reported that the man's mother said her son was actually living with his girlfriend at the time and was returning to their shared home after work. The Republic of Cyprus has recorded 905 cases and 17 deaths from COVID-19, while the breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has declared 108 cases and four deaths. cc/cm
