Two Afghan asylum seekers have been charged with kidnap, strangulation and rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton.
The girl was allegedly raped by Ahmad Mulakhil, 23 on 22 July in Cheverel Street and Mohammad Kabir, also 23, was charged with strangulation, kidnap and aiding and abetting the rape on 31 July of a young girl.
They will attend Warwick Crown Court on 26 August and they remain in custody.
The Mail was informed that Warwickshire Police told councillors and local officials not to reveal that they are asylum seekers as they fear there could be protests with fears of “community tensions.”
A source said, “They’re [the police] hushing it up because they don’t want an Epping situation on their hands.”

Warwickshire Police said in a statement, “There’s been some questions about what we do and don’t release as part of a high-profile investigation such as this.
“Following the rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton on Tuesday July 22 we started an immediate and fast-moving investigation.
This provided specialist support for the victim and involves detectives, neighbourhood teams and experts from across the force.
The impact of such a crime is felt across the community, of which we are a part. Our neighbourhood officers work every day with local community partners.
When something significant happens, we brief these partners and local elected officials on the circumstances of the crime, the investigation, the work being undertaken to arrest those responsible and how local people and partners can help a concerned community.
Where relevant, sensitive information around locations, details of the crime and policing activity to catch offenders can be shared, with a warning that this is sensitive or confidential information and disclosure by those being briefed could affect future court hearings.
We work to hold offenders to account and will always do everything in our power to present a robust case to the courts and protect the integrity of court proceedings.
“Once someone is charged with an offence, we follow national guidance. This guidance does not include sharing ethnicity or immigration status.
As our investigation progresses, the victim remains at the forefront of our focus, and we will continue to work with our partners – providing updates and working alongside the people of Nuneaton.
