The agonisingly long road to justice!
6 years after her rape in a refugee home in Lüchow-Dannenberg, Annika R. (20, name changed) faced her alleged tormentors again on Monday!
In March 2021, Mohamad T. (25) and Schadi A. (25) had been sentenced under juvenile law to two years and 18 months imprisonment on probation and a fine of 500 euros each. A lenient sentence! But the duo appealed. Now the second trial at the Regional Court of Lüneburg! For victim Annika R. a martyrdom, a horror – hopefully this time with an end!
The daughter of a refugee aid worker from Hanover gave Mohamad T. and Schadi A. lessons in German language on the day of the crime in 2016. According to the indictment, they first drank tea in the accommodation. Suddenly, Mohamad T. allegedly held the girl’s arms while his accomplice stripped Annika R. and raped her.
The Syrians allegedly threatened the 14-year-old to kill her family if she talked. Out of shame and fear, she said nothing. Only a year later did she reveal her secret.
At the start of the trial, the accused remained silent. Annika R. was questioned in camera – and cried. Her lawyer Pascal Ackermann: “She is still traumatised, wants to finally be able to put the matter behind her.”
Verdict expected in May.
