The alleged rape must have occurred on Monday, February 6 at Astor School in Dover.

Four asylum seekers from Afghanistan allegedly helped rape a girl. All those involved are said to be students at the school.

According to the police, however, there is no evidence that a crime was committed, and the Afghans have been allowed to return to the school.

This has created great concern and anger among the girls at the school, who testify to daily abuse. On Tuesday, a group of girls gathered outside the school's entrance to protest.

In a video from the demonstration, one of the girls is asked if the alleged victim has returned to school.

– No, because she is afraid. She is traumatized. We are all terrified both for our own sake and for this girl's, she says.

– No one has taken into account that the boys will do it again. The school's biggest concern is that we will cause a riot.

Alex Phillips, political adviser to the Brexit party Reform UK, calls the protest a “powder keg”.

– What has been done to ensure that men from other cultures adopt our values? she asks herself.
