Waldo Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I heard that it's potentially politically motivated. That Syria are more bothered about fostering good relations with Israel, than with the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC several of the men had their phones checked,some on request and a couple voluntarily int heir own defence. It was at this point after viewing the phone evidence i believe that the Cypriot police encouraged her to change her statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if she feels mistreated she can push it to the European court. At the moment, I don't see a reason not to trust the judge. There is plenty of sources on the internet about this case and it's not the only one -- "Scandinavian woman says she was forced by Cypriot police to withdraw a rape claim or face arrest, in a striking parallel to the case of a British teenager who was allegedly gang raped on the Mediterranean island. The Scandinavian woman said police officers questioned her aggressively for several hours after she was raped by two men outside a nightclub. The officers accused her of lying and said that if she did not withdraw the rape claim they would arrest her and send her to prison." The above is from The Telegraph. Far too many men would probably agree with you, they have no idea what rape can do to a woman. A lot a women and girls don't report it because of attitudes like yours and suggesting she takes it to the European court is unbelievable. She was also examined by a doctor suggest you look it up Edited January 10, 2020 by Sidonica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to your question Presley, I watched it on television where they were interviewing the mother ( never saw the daughter there) then on the later news they were both shown but with their faces blanked out. A bit late for that I thought so what was all that about , maybe to protect them from harassment when they get home? There's a lot of disbelievers out there.

Happ Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The video clearly shows she was not raped. It’s out there if you want to go looking and you can make your own mind up. Morning regret, made up a story, backfired badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Why are people assuming guilt, or innocence for that matter. Don’t. Just because the video doesn’t show a rape, doesn’t mean a rape did not happen at some point. I believe they’re saying it started out consensual with a small number of the boys, but later (not within the time scope of the video), the other boys forced their way in to the room, and what happened then wasn’t consensual.

Lex Luthor Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 There was a different lady on the Victoria Derbyshire show, reporting similar treatment from the Cypriot police after she was raped. Ayia Napa is one of my most favourite beaches in the world, but I'm thinking Cyprus might be better left alone, until a full enquiry in to this and similar cases happens.

She took a selfie, smiling, in the same room, just after the alleged rape occurred. Timestamps and the background prove it. Why would you do that if you’d just gone through the suggested ordeal?

Unless their lawers got involved, err a bit too late I would have thought, the identy cat was already out of the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
