Katina Baird

Katina Baird is a 32-year-old Guyanese restaurateur known for her establishment, Katina’s Tasty Food Caribbean Restaurant, located in Larnaca, Cyprus. She gained significant public attention and support after being detained by immigration authorities, facing deportation despite having legally operated her business and contributed to her community. Baird's case highlighted issues related to residency rights and domestic violence, as her marriage to a British citizen ended shortly before her detention. Following widespread community support and legal advocacy, she was released and expressed her deep connection to Cyprus as her home.
