Iranian Refugee Assault Sparks Political Concerns

Published: 2024-09-10

In Iserlohn, Germany, a 30-year-old Iranian refugee was allegedly gang-raped, with potential political motives under investigation.

Four men, suspected of the crime, are in custody, while two others remain at large.

The incident reportedly occurred in an abandoned brewery, where the victim was tied up and assaulted.

Authorities are exploring whether the attack was politically motivated, as the victim is believed to oppose the Iranian regime, while the suspects may support it.

The suspects, claiming Dutch and Danish citizenship with Iranian roots, are being scrutinized.

The investigation continues, with mobile phones seized for further evidence.
