The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Cyprus failed to properly investigate a British woman's allegation of gang rape by Israeli tourists in 2019. The woman, identified as 'X,' retracted her statement after hours of police interrogation without legal representation. The ECHR agreed that Cyprus breached its obligations to effectively investigate and prosecute her allegations. Despite the woman's conviction being overturned, Cyprus's attorney general has declined to reopen the investigation.
