Two migrants are on trial for arson in Dusseldorf after allegedly torching a refugee centre
The men, 27-year-olds from Morocco and Algeria, are accused of setting fire to the housing facility in a former exhibition hall in Dusseldorf, Germany.
In the fire on June 7 last year, 28 people suffered from smoke poisoning when the hall on Dusseldorf's fairground that housed about 150 migrants burned to the ground.
Prosecutors say the Algerian laid the fire, aided by the Moroccan.
