The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Cypriot authorities failed to investigate the original claims of a British woman who was later convicted of lying about being gang-raped.

The woman, now in her 20s, was 19 in the summer of 2019 when she claims she was raped by 12 Israeli men at a hotel in the party resort of Ayia Napa .

After retracting her statement 10 days later , she was charged with 'public mischief' for making the allegations.

She appealed her case and got her conviction quashed, with the judge ruling she had likely been forced into changing her statement and was not given a fair trial.
