A British teenager who remains resolute that she had been gang-raped in Ayia Napa, will find out next Monday whether SHE goes back to prison.
A police investigation, marred in incompetence, error and malice turned this victim of a gang-rape into a suspect overnight. Forced into retracting her statement, she was ‘absolutely terrified’ at the police station which resulted in the release of a group of Israeli men.
Charged with public mischief for making a false statement she has already spent over a month in prison and 6 months where she has been unable to leave Cyprus. Despite all of this, she remains determined for justice to be done, is adamant that she was gang-raped and I believe her!
The Network Against Violence Against Women (Δίκτυο Ενάντια στη Βία Κατά των Γυναικών), invite you to protest on Monday 30 December 2019 at 8:30 am outside Famagusta District Court (Paralimni) where the verdict is to be readout.
Performed in Greek will be the song “the rapist is you” by women wearing blindfolds as they point towards the court. It is a moving anthem against patriarchy and its consequent impunity.
If you are in Cyprus, please support this teenager from outside the court, let’s bring her home! Stand in solidarity with the women from ‘The Network Against Violence Against Women’ as they fight for equality and the eradication of misogynistic violence.
