BERLIN: German police arrested seven Afghan asylum seekers in raids on refugee shelters Thursday on suspicion the men repeatedly raped an Iranian teenager and filmed the sexual assault.
More than 30 police joined the raids on 10 rooms in several accommodation facilities in the towns of Nagold and Wildberg in the southwestern state of Baden-Wurttemberg, said police.
"The Afghan asylum seekers are suspected of having raped a 17-year-old Iranian asylum seeker several times and of having filmed the acts," police and prosecutors said in a brief joint statement.
Germany took in almost 900,000 asylum seekers last year -- about half from conflict-torn Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan -- and put them up in shelters countrywide, including hostels, shops, sports gyms and army barracks.https://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/World/2016/Nov-03/379560-germany-arrests-7-afghan-refugees-accused-of-raping-iranian-teen.ashx
