Violent crimes like murder, rape and physical assault are a widespread problem in German refugee shelters, according to a leaked intelligence report.

German authorities, however, have failed to share this information, claiming it is not in the public's interest to know.

The report, leaked to the German newspaper Bild, was prepared for Markus Ulbig, interior minister of Saxony. More than 40,000 migrants are currently living in refugee shelters in Saxony, and if the data are any indication, many of them are not getting along with each other.

The report cited 10 murders or manslaughters at Saxon migrant shelters in 2016, in addition to 10 sexual assaults of children, seven rapes, 960 physical assaults, 671 cases of dangerous bodily injury and 268 cases of drug trafficking. The report also mentioned hundreds of cases of arson, brawls, attacks on police officers, coercion and theft.

And this violence continued into the following year. In the first six months of 2017, there were more than 500 physical assaults, hundreds of reported thefts and several homicides.

This crime epidemic is hardly confined to Saxony. Police in Berlin recorded more than 2,000 physical assaults at migrant shelters in 2016, as well as 86 rapes, three homicides and 800 thefts. There were 219 sexual assaults against women and children reported at migrant shelters in Hamburg during the first six months of 2017.

In fact, during the first nine months of 2016, there were almost 40,000 crimes reported in refugee shelters across all of Germany, according to a Federal Criminal Police report that leaked in February.

These crimes included 17,200 physical assaults, 6,500 thefts, 2,400 drug offenses, 510 sexual assaults and 139 homicides.

As the Gatestone Institute pointed out, the actual numbers may be much higher because observers agree most crimes at migrant shelters go unreported due to fear of revenge.

The anecdotes are horrifying.

A 41-year-old Afghan migrant at a refugee shelter in Bavaria stabbed to death an 8-year-old Russian boy. This Afghan had previously been arrested for arson, and a Bavarian court had warned that he posed a threat to others. Bavarian officials, however, ignored that warning and placed him in the shelter where the young Russian boy was staying with his mother.

Elsewhere in Bavaria, a 28-year-old Ukrainian migrant in a refugee shelter raped a 47-year-old Kazakh migrant with the help of some migrants from Chechnya. The Kazakh took revenge by castrating the Ukrainian, causing him to bleed to death.

At a refugee shelter in Lower Saxony, a 26-year-old Sudanese migrant sexually assaulted a 12-year-old Serbian girl, prompting an angry crowd of more than a hundred Serbians to try and deliver justice themselves. Police had to use pepper spray to stop the Serbs.

Meanwhile, in North Rhine-Westphalia, a 19-year-old migrant stabbed a 28-year-old migrant during a huge brawl at a refugee shelter. When police tried to arrest the stabber, a mob of more than 40 migrants attacked them. Police had to use dogs to bring the situation under control.

When the newspaper Bild asked the Saxon interior ministry why so many crimes in refugee shelters are covered up, a spokesperson replied the public doesn't need to know: "The facts which the investigative authorities deem appropriate for public knowledge depend on the circumstances of the individual case."

The spokesperson also attempted to explain why there was so much violence in these shelters:

"In general, long-term accommodation of many people in small spaces, such as first-time reception facilities, can lead to temporary, exceptional mental states which can lead to physical disputes in individual cases. Such an effect is further enhanced by heterogeneous ethnic and cultural backgrounds."
