Ayia Napa gang rape trial: British woman testifies
A British woman, who was 20 years old at the time, reported that she was gang-raped by five Israeli men, aged between 19 and 20, while on holiday in Ayia Napa last year. The incident led to a trial at Famagusta criminal court, where the woman testified behind closed doors from Tuesday to Friday. The defendants, all from Majd al-Krum, are facing charges of rape and sexual assault. DNA evidence for two of the defendants was dismissed, affecting the trial’s reliance on witness statements. All five defendants are currently in custody.
