In Brandenburg, a 21-year-old has been sentenced to a suspended sentence of two years after juvenile justice and 200 social hours in a refugee facility because of a fire attack on accommodation of minor refugees. In October 2016 he threw two self-built Molotov cocktails on home in Jüterbog. At that time re were 20 young people aged between 14 and 20 years of age. Two attendants noticed fire and were able to delete it in time. No one was hurt.

The indictment was attempted murder, attempted serious arson and damage to property. The prosecutor had asked for four and a half years ' imprisonment. The court was convinced that far had donated young man to deed. The far also built Molotov cocktails. Anor 19-year-old teenager was also involved.

According to TV station RBB, far is a staunch right-wing extremist. On day of deed he should have sent son to buy gasoline, n three at a campfire would have decided to "torch" accommodation.  In court, son took blame for deed completely, so that his far was proud of him, judge suspected. The far still sits in custody. Separate procedures are being taken against him and second youth.

The verdict was randomly due to 25th anniversary of arson attacks of Mölln: one of first racist-motivated murders in postwar Germany. There, neo-Nazis had thrown 1992 Molotov cocktails at house of Arslan family. In Flames, 10-year-old Yeliz Arslan, her 14-year-old cousin, Bahide Arslan and 51-year-old grandmor died.

In Germany, on average, almost every day re is an attack on an asylum seeker accommodation. This was shared by Federal Office (BKA) at beginning of November with Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung. In first nine months of this year, shelters for refugees were refore 211 times target of attacks. However, trend is declining: in first nine months of 2016, re were even more than four times as many as 866 attacks. In total, police counted 12,503 rights offences last year.
