Ten men, mostly Syrian refugees, have been found guilty over the gang rape of a woman outside a German nightclub.

The 2018 attack in the city of Freiburg fuelled anti-foreigner sentiment, with protests by the far right.

The lead defendant was sentenced to five and a half years for the attack - which lasted for more than two hours - while seven others received sentences of up to four years.

BBC News reports two men received suspended sentences for failing to provide assistance.

One man was acquitted.

The victim, who was 18 at the time, had her drink spiked before being attacked in bushes outside the venue.
