Inadequate Investigation of Gang Rape Allegation in Cyprus
February 27, 2025
The European Court of Human Rights found that Cyprus violated the rights of a British woman who reported a gang rape. The investigation was marked by biases and deficiencies, and the woman was prosecuted for false testimony. The court awarded her compensation, highlighting the need for improvements in handling such cases. The Cypriot authorities failed to consider psychological factors and the management of the case.
