Syrian refugee says women are responsible for Cologne sex attacks… because they ‘shouldn’t be out alone’ at night
Social media users slam blogger Aras Bachot, 18, who has lived in Germany for past five years & claims to 'fight for equality'
A SYRIAN refugee has claimed women are responsible for the horrific migrant sex attacks on New Year’s Eve in Germany last year.
Aras Bachot, who has lived in the country for five years, said women should stay inside at night.
The 18-year-old blogger, who says he “fights for equality”, has been slammed on Twitter after sharing a slew of questionable comments about the sex attacks.
Referring to the horrific night last year when more than 500 women reported being sexually assaulted, raped and robbed when over 1,000 migrants went on a rampage in Cologne, he tweeted: “Most of the time women are to blame.”
The teen, who blogs for Huffington Post in Germany, went on in the tweet: “To be alone at night. On the other hand, the refugees should behave.”
He hashtagged the tweet with the word “Silvester”, which means New Year’s in German.
His comments have been slammed on social media, with a number of users calling them “dangerous”.
“However, the tweet does not relate to any content he has posted on the HuffPost platform.”
Following the backlash, the teen deleted his tweet, writing another in its place: "I apologise for my tweet. I wanted to write something else.
"The victim is not to blame, but the attacker."
