The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Cyprus failed to investigate a British woman's allegation of being gang-raped by Israeli tourists in 2019. The woman, identified as 'X', reported the rape while on a working holiday in Ayia Napa. After retracting her statement under duress, she was arrested and faced charges of falsely accusing the group. The woman's conviction was later overturned by Cyprus's Supreme Court, but the attorney-general declined to reopen the investigation. The ECHR ruled that Cyprus breached the woman's rights and awarded her damages and costs.
