A Swedish court on Friday convicted five Afghan teenagers of raping an Afghan minor, but rejected the prosecution's request that they be deported after serving their sentences, DPA reported.

The five defendants and the victim were unaccompanied minors who had applied for asylum in Sweden.

The court sentenced four of the defendants to 15 months in juvenile detention and the fifth to 13 months. They were also ordered to pay damages of 250,000 kronor ($27,600 USD) to the victim.

The court heard that the teenagers forced the victim, who was 15 at the time of the incident, into a forested area on the outskirts of Uppsala in October - where they raped the individual.  

Part of the assault was recorded on a mobile phone.
