This report focuses on hate speech prevalent in public discourses circulating on the internet, e.g. social media users� offensive comments under news articles, in both Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities of Cyprus. Traditional stereotypes used in daily language as well as discourses exhibited by media outlets in their representations of political events are examined. Some unflattering visual materials, such as cartoons which are ridden with discriminatory discourses about specific groups of people, are also studied. Three main nexuses of hate speech on both sides of the island are identified: intercommunal, inter-alterity and inter-gender. The hate speech incidents and the responses by authorities and civil society are similar on both sides of the island. Hate speech is a persistent problem for the Greek and Turkish Cypriot media despite all the efforts by bodies involved in media regulation. Although some progress has been made, the level of awareness concerning hate speech recognition remains low, and measures aimed at preventing hate speech fall short on both social and traditional media. On the basis of the findings presented in the report, we recommend both communities to form joint initiatives involving civil society, authorities and law enforcement agencies.
