Mass rape in Ayia Napa: "Britain could denounce KD"

The front page hosted the lawyer, Simos Angelidis, in order to comment on the subversive decision regarding the case of Britanida.

He initially stated that this is a decision of the Supreme Court and the matter is therefore closed and there is no other superior measure.

He explained that this case did not concern the rape case but the accusation that the complainant initially faced as a victim of gang rape where in the course the authorities deemed that they did not correspond to the truth and could accuse her of public harm.

"Public harm occurs when anyone knows that he is giving a false testimony to any police officer. He is then guilty of public harm and is subject to a fine. "For this crime, the specific girl was acquitted", said Mr. Angelidis.

He went on to say, "The Court comes in a very caustic way and says that the way the proceedings were conducted was a way that did not guarantee the basic rights that every suspect, whether an arrested person or a detainee, has. .

Since there were neither the safeguards nor the safeguards provided by either the Cypriot legislation or the Constitution or European directives or the European Convention on Human Rights then the Supreme Court could not consider anything to have happened. after that it could be a non-violation of the rights of the specific accused in relation to her right to a fair trial ".

Asked if the 19-year-old's lawyer can now ask for the case to be reopened, he said that since the third testimony in which he said that it was not rape has disappeared, then what remains on the table is the complaint of the specific girl.

"Certainly the authorities should be investigated and concluded if they wish and consider that there is evidence to advance the case. It is an issue that the authorities are called to take a stand and when they make these decisions they are justified because they will be judged by the courts.

On the one hand, if it is judged that they will proceed, some Israelis who had been previously accused will be denounced, or in case the case is not promoted, England may proceed with complaints against the Republic of Cyprus. "Therefore, any decision taken must be on a legal basis."
