At Justice Abroad (@expertsabroad ) we are relieved that our client in Cyprus was not sentenced to an immediate custodial sentence. However, the teenager has still been subject to a gross miscarriage of justice after reporting the terrible rape in July
#JusticeAbroad #AyiaNapa
She spent 4.5 weeks on remand in Nicosia which was where I first met with her and then when our team got her bail had to stay in Cyprus. Despite this, she is determined to obtain justice for herself and other women who find themselves in similar positions #JusticeAbroad #AyiaNapa
Justice Abroad and the team put together by Justice Abroad of Lewis Power QC, Nicoletta Charalambidou, and Ritsa Pekri are determined to take this case all the way to the European Courts if we have to. #JusticeAbroad #AyiaNapa

At the Old Bailey for the sentencing of Festus and @FionaOnasanyaMP. Sentence expected later today.
Interesting exchange just now...

Prosecution: She was a participant from the outset. It was a crime committed by both (her and Festus) but solely for her benefit.

Judge: “that would be totally out of character for her”
Here's my notes of the prosecution's summary of Festus Onasanya and @FionaOnasanyaMP's previous convictions / character

7) Here’s another important feature. The Defendant had already spent 6 months in custody on remand. That time would count towards any immediate custodial sentence. Because of automatic release at the halfway stage, it’s the equivalent of a 12-month sentence that he’s served.
8) This can be persuasive when a judge is being urged to give a Defendant a community-based sentence. Immediate custody could mean the Defendant doesn’t serve much more time, and isn’t given time for rehabilitation. A longer suspended sentence might allow for that.
9) That’s not to say this wasn’t a lenient sentence. Based on the report, the Defendant should consider himself extremely fortunate (not least given his previous conviction). But as with all these cases, there’s a context behind the headline. Look for it before rushing to outrage

Following on from yesterday’s rubbish (see thread), the Mail continues its dishonest trashing of the justice system with more cod statistics about criminal sentencing. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
620,000 criminals with at least 10 previous convictions were given non-custodial sentences. That’s the headline. Here’s what the Mail doesn’t tell you:
Firstly, this number is over a 5-year period. That little nugget is buried away from the headline.
