It's time to bring our girl home. I call her “our girl” because we don’t know her name, only that she says she was raped by 12 Israeli men and has now, after a (deliberately?) botched investigation, been found guilty of a crime ironically called “public mischief”.

The Cypriot police’s actions mean 12 alleged rapists are roaming the streets of Israel.

It must have helped that the accused have friends in high places – or rather their parents do.

One is senior advisor to Moshe Lion, the Mayor of Jerusalem.

Others are friends with Minister Tzachi Hanegbi.

Israel taking care of its own puts our own Government to shame.

Our girl is not flown home.

Our girl has PTSD, urgently requiring treatment.

Our girl is placed on a no-fly list that means she can’t leave Cyprus.

Our girl is arrested and, this Tuesday, may be sentenced to a year in prison.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he is “extremely concerned”.

The rest of us are saying only one thing – “bring our girl home”.

Sign our petition and force Johnson and Raab to act

The Mirror has started a petition to get Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to intervene in the case.

So far the Government has only expressed concern about her plight.

We, the undersigned, call on the Government to issue more than just words and to act urgently.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab should

directly intervene with the Cyprus government in the case of the British teenager facing jail there over a fake gang-rape claim

demand that she should be brought home to Britain immediately for treatment and support, rather than attend court next week

request that she is released from detention immediately and the Cypriot attorney-general discontinue criminal proceedings, removing her from the ‘no-fly’ list so she can return to the UK
