Hazel Behan is an Irish woman from County Westmeath who has gained media attention for her human rights case against the Portuguese police regarding their investigation into her alleged rape by Christian Brückner, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Behan alleges that the police failed to follow crucial investigative leads, which included not collecting potential forensic evidence and not providing her with a translator. She seeks justice not only for herself but also aims to highlight the failures in how victims of sexual violence are treated by law enforcement.
