Cyprus extends remand of seven Israelis for alleged rape after five freed

None

A court in Cyprus on Friday detained seven Israeli youths for further questioning in connection with a group rape alleged by a British tourist on the island.

 

A total of 12 individuals had initially been detained on a court order last week after a 19-year-old woman said she had been assaulted in a hotel room in the resort of Ayia Napa.

 

Cypriot authorities released five of them late on Thursday.
