Six employees of a private security company are being investigated for the physical abuse of refugees at the emergency shelter in the western German state of North-Rhine Westfalia, the state prosecutor said. The abuse came to light over the weekend when police became aware of videos of the acts of abuse recorded by two of the accused. Around 700 refugees are at the shelter in the town of Burbach near the city of Essen. EPA/INA FASSBENDER
