Court in Greek-administered Cyprus rules young British woman guilty of lying about gang-rape by Israeli teenagers, despite concerns of duress during interrogation
A British woman, accused of lying about being gang-raped, covers her face as she leaves Famagusta courthouse in Paralimni, Cyprus December 30, 2019.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested after police said she had withdrawn an accusation that the teenagers had raped her in a hotel room at the holiday resort of Ayia Napa in July.The woman maintained that she had recanted her accusation under duress from police during persistent questioning without a lawyer present. Prosecutors and the court dismissed that claim.
"We believe there have been many violations in the procedure and the rights of fair trial of our client have been violated," said her lawyer, Nicoletta Charalambidou. In testimony in open court, the defendant said she had been in a hotel room with one of the Israeli youths, with whom she had a relationship, before others appeared and she was pinned down.
