Photo: DPAIn a case of shocking heartlessness, two men in eastern Germany are accused of racially abusing a young Egyptian woman moments after their friend drove over her. But this week a crime which seemed to have been caused by youthful recklessness took on a much darker character. A witness to the incident told local newspaper the Lausitzer Rundschau how the young men in the car responded as Shaden M. lay bloodied on the street. Brandenburg police have now opened an enquiry into hate speech against the young men. More than 23,500 far-right crimes were reported, and the number of violent far-right crimes rose by 14.3 percent.
