Abhorrent. I hope he enjoys Germany's prisons, a piece of paper won't protect his face there.

Here I thought European prisons were supposed to be different from the ones in the US. Do we no longer care about rehabilitation and security when the offender is a minority?

You make a lot of assumptions.

I'd say the same about a non-minority who'd committed the same crime and was covering their face for the camera.

A large part of rehabilitation is admitting wrongdoing and displaying a desire to apologize and make amends, this man has not - unlike his co-charged woman in the case, whom you'll notice I didn't mention, even though she too is 'minority', as you put it.

If they've been convicted, show their faces.

Good better yet drop them in the middle of a war zone so they experience first hand the horrors those girls lived through.
