Two Afghan asylum seekers have been accused of assaulting a 15-year-old girl after allegedly dragging her into a park, according to reports. The incident reportedly occurred recently, shortly after the individuals arrived in the country by boat a few months prior. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the assault.
The girl, who was reportedly able to record a video of the assault, captured herself being pulled into bushes by her attackers. Her lawyer described the footage as extremely graphic and said that its release could provoke violent protests.

Human rights and community groups have expressed concern over the incident, emphasizing the importance of a thorough investigation and the protection of the victim’s rights. The case has sparked a broader discussion about the safety and integration of asylum seekers in the region.
