A British woman convicted for falsely claiming she had been gang raped by 12 Israeli teens in Cyprus two years ago has filed an appeal to the island's Supreme Court, seeking to clear her name.
The woman received a suspended four-month prison sentence in January 2020 in a case which sparked concern from Britain and activists about her treatment by Cyprus authorities.
Lawyers for the defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and prosecutors presented their arguments before a three-bench Supreme Court in the capital Nicosia on Thursday.
