Two Syrians and an Iraqi accused of beating and then gang-raping an 18-year-old in Germany have been granted bail, sparking an outcry.
The men, aged 18-21, were granted their freedom after a judge ruled there was no risk they would escape.
The men must report to police frequently, continue to live with their parents, and not approach the alleged victim, Bild reported.
The trio, who are not related by birth or marriage, all came to Germany with their families in 2015.
The alleged rape took place on Saturday on a housing estate in Leer, where several refugee families settled after being granted leave to remain in Germany.
Police said the suspects lured the woman to an apartment building on the estate where they beat and raped her several times.
