The German magazine Focus has published a report involving torture in a juvenile prison. The justice ministry in Saxony has confirmed the report, making this the second such case in recent years.

 

According to the report, two inmates aged 15 and 24 years tortured another inmate at the Regis-Breitingen juvenile detention center, located near Leipzig in the eastern state of Saxony.

The state of Saxony has pressed charges of attempted murder against the inmates, though it is still unclear when the trial will take place.
