Afghan Asylum Seekers Charged in Rape Case: Reactions and Concerns Emerge
Two Afghan asylum seekers have been charged in connection with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Ahmad Mulakhil has been charged with rape, while Mohammad Kabir faces charges of aiding and abetting rape, as well as strangulation and kidnap. Local sources allege that Warwickshire Police advised officials not to reveal the asylum seeker status of the suspects, fearing it would inflame community tensions, a claim the police have defended. Both men resided in taxpayer-funded housing managed by Serco, which has a contract with the Home Office to house asylum seekers.
