ine Iraqi refugees have been arrested in Austria on suspicion of gang-raping a 28-year-old German woman in a case that could ignite debate of immigration and crime ahead of this Autumn’s presidential election re-run.

The arrest of the nine Iraqis, all either asylum seekers or recently granted asylum, comes as Austria’s anti-immigrant Freedom Party seeks to over-turn the result of June’s presidential election after mounting a successful legal challenge to pave the way for a re-run on October 2.

The arrests were made over the weekend, police confirmed, after DNA evidence and CCTV camera footage was used to build a case against the nine asylum seekers.The woman filed the complaint on January 1 but it took nearly eight months of what Austrian police called a “protracted and difficult” investigation before the arrest were made.

The alleged attack took place on New Year’s Eve at an apartment in Vienna where the woman, who was visiting from the German state of Lower Saxony, was visiting to celebrate the New Year with a friend.

The suspects range in age from 21 to 47, said Vienna police spokesman Paul Eidenberger. “There is no doubt about the gang rape according to the biological traces,” the police spokesman told Der Spiegel.

First.

I've come to the conclusion that women deserve the brave new world that they're creating.  Think about the title of this story.  A woman was gang raped and the media story is about election fears and not the tragedy that this woman faced?  My quaint and outdated position that women should be protected from this type of barbarity is looked down on but those that are progressive seem more concerned with the politics of the crime rather than the suffering of the victim.

Second.

They'll be lucky to keep Europe together.  Much more of this and it'll be every country for itself and closed borders all around.
