A horrendous ordeal.
The teenager convicted of lying about being raped in Cyprus could face a three-year legal battle in a bid to clear her name.
They say her retraction of the rape was made under duress and claim she was denied access to a lawyer. After a sentence is handed down, the girl’s lawyers will have ten days to register her appeal which is hoped will be heard in six months. If it is unsuccessful, the case could then be referred to the European Court of Human Rights where it could take up to three years to resolve.Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab appealed to Cypriot authorities this week, and it is hoped his intervention will push the girl’s case to the front of the queue.
