Yes it's relevant to ex-service personnel living in Cyprus

It is covered by the BBC

A human rights lawyer who brought abuse claims against UK troops after the Iraq War has been struck off for misconduct.
Phil Shiner, from the now-defunct law firm Public Interest Lawyers, had 12 charges of misconduct proved against him by a panel of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
He had admitted acting recklessly by publicly claiming UK troops unlawfully killed, tortured and mistreated Iraqis.
The defence secretary said Mr Shiner had "made soldiers' lives a misery".
Sir Michael Fallon told the BBC he was "delighted" that Mr Shiner had been "exposed".
"The decent thing for him to do now would be to apologise," he said.

Oh Joy, justice does exist. What a slimy cowardly piece of horse manure this man is. His peers have tried him and he has been proved guilty, hopefully he will be required to pay back the monies he has defrauded the British taxpayer of, and those he persecuted will now take legal action against him.

Apparently the poor little diddums didn't attend as he was too poorly and couldn't even afford a lawyer to defend him.

Shame! :evil:
