Hate Crime: Malmö

Two #Afghan migrants are facing light sentences after being convicted of raping a young girl and filming the assault. #IrshadAhmad and #ElhamBahram will not face deportation from #Sweden as the two were granted citizenship approximately four years ago.

The rape took place in February in the residential #Nydala neighborhood of #Malmö. Armed with a knife, the two migrants – both of whom were 16 years of age – coerced the 13 year old White girl to a hidden spot outdoors. While threatening to murder her if she resisted, the girl was raped by both of the predators.

The gang rape was later reported to the police, after which Irshad and Elham were arrested and remanded into custody. There was ample evidence to substantiate the rape, including their DNA being both at the scene and on the girl. But the most damning entry to the court was footage taken on a mobile phone which closely documented the attack. Irshad and Elham reportedly had a friend record them while they assaulted the girl raising the risk of ongoing trauma.
During court proceedings, Irshad and Elham denied any wrongdoing, even when faced with the overwhelming evidence. One of them admitted to the sexual acts, but claimed that the girl was consenting. The other, however, attempted to deny his involvement completely while simultaneously arguing he didn’t know the girl’s age.
