A British woman has been raped by a gang of asylum seekers in Calais, it has been alleged.
The journalism student wanted to highlight the plight of migrants who sleep rough in a squalid camp at the French port before trying to sneak into Britain.
She was subjected to a horrific attack by six Afghan men she intended to write about, it was claimed.
French riot police rounded up 200 migrants for questioning.
Ten remained in custody tonight and police said it was possible all had been involved in the rape, which detectives described as 'extremely brutal'.
Police said the 31-year-old victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was a London student who had travelled to France 'to highlight problems surrounding clandestine immigration'.
...
The victim remains in Calais, with police hoping she will be able to identify her attackers. Tonight she was described as 'utterly traumatised and receiving counselling'.
A police spokesman said: 'She appeared to be working alone, which was clearly a very dangerous thing to do. We fear that the men she was reporting on attacked her in the wood where they were staying.
‘She deeply regrets going into The Jungle alone, especially at night. She concedes it was a very dangerous thing to do.'
...
Stephen Ward, course director of the noSWeat Journalism Training centre in London, said: 'We have 250 students and she could be one of ours, we just don't know at the moment. It's the summer holidays and our students are very ambitious and very hardworking.
'Going to Calais to find out the real story of the immigrants is just the sort of self-starting thing they would do. But if one of them has come to harm, it will be very sad indeed ...'

As most of the comments to the article say, are these the types of "asylum seekers" that Britain ought to let in?
...Liberal No More?
I wish her all the best as she recovers.
An unfortunate 31 year old “student” whose liberalism may have just had it’s first reality check.
I feel sorry for that poor girl. It's unfortunate she had to wake up from he PC multi-cultural dreamworld in such a cruel way.
International law states that when claiming asylum they have to do that in the first safe country they get to.
Now why on earth is England accepting these people, I’m from England and have seenhow these scroungers take take and take but give nothing, yet a million Polish have moved to England and they work hard.
Muslims need to stop coming into western countries and thinking thye can still do things like they do back in their dump of a country
Welcome to Islam! UNtil this stops being routine, Islam will NEVER be accepted as anything but a brutal Cult of Death
this is another classic case of how liberals are being dumb and naive
These people do not care about their new countries not that they should be allowed to come to England, they care nothing for women rights. they move and then try and force the natives to adopt to them
Liberal or not I hope these rapists get hung
I wish her well but.... WHAT PART OF ISLAM DONT YA UNDERSTAND?!?
Unless we stop Islam, this WILL become routine.
All cultures are equal. Multiculturalism is good. Diversity is wonderful. We are the world. Kumbya, kumbya, kumbya............
Liberalism has very tragic consequences. It is a danger to all who follow it or to those who are subjected to it.
wouldn’t be surprised if she foggives them as liberal minds never seem to wake up to what is really happening
An article yesterday said that many of the “asylum seekers” were Eastern European. However, it’s not surprising that the subset of gang-rapists was ROP, is it?
Cal Thomas: A NEOCON is a liberal who’s been mugged.........
I’ll send up a prayer that this woman recovers as much as she is able.
As for these Muslims? Castrate them and send them home as a lesson.
I suppose the “journalism student” should be thankful that she wasn’t trying to highlight the plight of some muzzies performing a beheading.
"Plight" ? Compared to what ? These are savages from a savage land. They should thank their lucky stars for being allowed into the civilized world. "Plight", indeed. This is like John Edwards lamenting "poverty" in America.
One on the one hand I am trying to feel sorry for her. On the other, she did receive her first real lesson on liberalism 101. Sometimes the cost of education may be worth it..
I wouldn’t want this to happen to anyone.
Perhaps, though, some other female who is a victim of liberal brainwashing will be more cautious when interacting with “the downtrodden” as a result of this horrific event.
“As for these Muslims? Castrate them and send them home as a lesson.”
That’s a fine idea. Sadly, the clowns in the government will instead spend more of our treasure and send more young people to die or get blown to pieces so those subhuman Mohammedan dogs can enjoy “the blessings of liberty” that they themselves neither desire nor understand.
Do it in such a way that they have to sit down to pee, just like the women they so despise. That might just embarass them to death.
