The British teenager convicted of lying about being gang raped by 12 Israeli men in Cyprus will be pardoned and allowed to return to Britain immediately - even if she is jailed tomorrow, it emerged today. They were calling for justice for the 19-year-old woman, who was found guilty of public mischief and is due to be sentenced tomorrow. Speaking from Cyprus with her face obscured by darkness, the mother said: 'The whole police procedures in Cyprus are wrong. If the British woman is jailed tomorrow, as is expected, the President of Cyprus has promised to step in and pardon her. President Nicos Anastasiades has offered a number of pardons before, freeing 21 prisoners on the 59th anniversary of Cyprus in October.
