Incidents of sexual assault by illegal immigrants/refugees against other immigrants in reception centres are rising dangerously. The latest incident was investigated by the police at the immigrant structure of Katsikas in Ioannina, where a 26-year-old Afghan was arrested after reportedly sexually assaulting an Iranian woman.

According to the 35-year-old woman’s statement to the police, the Afghan man approached her holding a knife and demanded to have sexual intercourse with her on Tuesday. As she told police, the purported attacker in his effort to overpower her physically accosted her as she tried to resist his advance.
