'10 attacks a day' on migrants in Germany in 2016
Germany recorded more than 3,500 attacks against migrants in 2016, amounting to nearly 10 acts of anti-migrant violence a day, the country's interior ministry has revealed. Condemning the violence, the ministry added that the assaults left 560 people injured, including 43 children. Reportedly, Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to welcome refugees has polarised Germany and increased hate crimes.
