PARALIMNI, CYPRUS: A British teenager who says she was coerced into retracting an accusation she was gang-raped was given a suspended jail sentence by a Cyprus court on Tuesday. The case has drawn a rare rebuke from Britain and uproar from rights groups concerned the woman did not get a fair trial.
