Tyrol, an Afghan threatened a Shiite compatriot to “slaughter her over the back of the head”, rape her and behead her – He was allowed to do so in Afghanistan because of her religious-ethnic affiliation.

37-year-old Afghan has been in Austria with his family for quite some time and is probably not yet fully integrated in Europe. He is said to repeatedly frighten Muslim women in his neighbourhood with remarks. He allegedly said to a female neighbour, who belongs to the Shiite Hazara minority, that they are not regarded as normal people in Afghanistan and that Hazara should be “slaughtered over the back of the head”.

After the widow refused to take care of the 37-year-old’s children for a short time, he allegedly uttered that “this is the wrong place, but he is allowed to rape and behead her in Afghanistan”.

However, the reported statements could no longer be proven beyond doubt at the regional court yesterday. It is also impossible to carry out the threats now. Thus, the “milieu-related expressions of displeasure” were met with an acquittal.
