In 2016, BBC released a documentary to show the sad plight of refugees with an interview of Omar Badreddin, a Syrian refugee who was a victim of racism.
6 years later and this prized refugee Omar Badreddin was just sentenced to 18 years, multiple counts for r*ping of a 12-year-old English girl.
A gang who groomed and raped a 13-year-old girl, using threats to kill and kidnap, have been handed jail terms.
The four attackers were aged between 15 and 21 when they abused the victim between August 2018 and April 2019, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
The girl said they "tortured" her, making childhood a "living nightmare".
Brothers Omar and Mohamed Badreddin and Huzaefa Aleboud were found guilty of multiple rapes. Hamoud Al Soaimi was found guilty of sexual assault.
She was repeatedly abused near the castle in Newcastle city centre and behind a burger restaurant after being "groomed" with alcohol and cigarettes, the court heard.
Mohamed Badreddin, then aged 17, was "aggressive and rough" with her and threatened that his brother Omar, then aged 20, would "hurt her if she didn't do stuff with him", prosecutor Anne Richardson said.
The girl was also raped at her own home with the brothers, who moved to the UK as refugees from the war in Syria, telling her she would be killed or taken to another country, Ms Richardson said.
The court heard she was raped by Omar Badreddin on at least seven occasions, the first time immediately after his brother had raped her.
