Hey, Dads: What If Your Daughter Was Raped By A ‘Poor Muslim Refugee’ Your Country Gave Sanctuary To?
What would you do if a Muslim refugee raped your daughter at an asylum center? Would you make the refugee take a class to learn ‘how to treat women?’
A teenage Afghan immigrant has been charged with raping a female worker at an asylum seekers’ centre in Belgium, authorities said, prompting outrage from anti-immigrant politicians.
The 16-year-old Afghan asylum seeker followed a worker from a catering firm into the basement and raped her at the centre in Menen, near the French border, prosecutors said.
The judge ordered him detained in youth custody until his next hearing.
A spokeswoman for the Red Cross said it was the first time in 25 years such an alleged incident had occurred at one of the organisation’s asylum seeker centres in the country.
‘Two weeks ago we gave a course about how to treat women in Flanders and the boy was present there,’ the spokeswoman said.
The allegation feeds into to a highly charged debate over immigration in Europe, particularly since authorities in neighbouring Germany accused gangs of migrants of sexually assaulting women in Cologne on New Year’s Eve.
