Cyprus Rape Case: British woman handed four-month suspended sentence

Описание: In Greek-Administered Cyprus, a British woman who was convicted of lying about being gang-raped, has been given a four month suspended sentence

The 19-year-old student, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has also been fined around 160 dollars. The court ruled that she 'wilfully indulged in public mischief' when she claimed to have been raped by a group of Israeli tourists while on holiday last July. She said she was put under immense pressure by police to retract her statement, when she was interrogated without a lawyer present. Dozens of protesters gathered outside the court in support of the woman.
