Human rights campaigners are outraged at a video that has surfaced from Saudi Arabia of an Asian man being severely beaten by a Saudi man, allegedly for looking at his wife.
The footage shows the Asian worker, wearing an orange overall, sitting opposite the Saudi man dressed in white robes.
The Asian man has a swollen eye and is repeatedly slapped and hit in the face by the other man.
The Saudi man then starts to repeatedly whip the Asian man with his belt. The victim falls to the floor crying out in pain, where he is kicked and whipped over and over.
When he gets to his feet, the Saudi man appears to grab him by the throat and forces him up against the wall before continuing to beat him.
The whole attack, which takes place in a room with a table, chairs and a playing TV, is filmed by a third party and has been shared online.
The shocking footage has prompted Saudi Arabia' Human Rights Commission to condemn the attack after it received numerous complaints.
Spokesperson Ibrahim al-Shadi told Al Arabiya the beating was a 'flagrant violation of the victim’s rights to safety and dignity.
The act also flouted rules set by Islamic Sharia, he said.
The National Society for Human Rights is 'investigating the issue,' its head Mefleh al-Qahtani told AFP, quoted in the Times of India.
The semi-governmental organisation would demand the perpetrator be punished if the case is confirmed.
'We do not have enough details about the identity of the man, or on where the incident took place,' he said.
據英國《每日郵報》10月28日報道，從沙特阿拉伯傳出的一段視頻令人權活動家義憤填膺。視頻記錄了一名沙特男子狠狠毆打一名亞裔男子的過程，據稱原因是他“膽敢和自己的妻子說話”。
視頻中的亞裔工人身穿橙色工裝，坐在穿白色長袍的沙特男子對面。他眼睛紅腫，被沙特男子反復掌摑和擊打面部。接著，沙特男子開始用皮帶反復抽打亞裔男子。受害人撲倒在地，疼得哭喊起來，同時仍不斷受到腳踢和抽打。他站起來后，沙特男子好像抓住他的喉部，強迫他背靠墻，然后繼續打他。
整個攻擊過程發生在一間有桌椅和電視機的房間，由第三方拍攝，并傳到網上。
據阿拉伯衛視報道，這名沙特男子指責亞裔男子膽敢和他妻子說話。
這組令人震驚的畫面促使沙特阿拉伯人權委員會在收到大量投訴之后，強烈譴責此次襲擊事件。
委員會發言人易卜拉欣·阿拉沙迪對阿拉伯衛視說，沙特男子打人“公然侵犯了受害人的安全和尊嚴權利”，也藐視了伊斯蘭教法的規則。
沙特的半政府組織國家人權協會（National Society for Human Rights）負責人表示，協會“正在調查此事”，如果此案得到確認，協會將要求處罰行兇者。他說，“我們還未掌握足夠的男子身份細節，也不知道事件發生的地點。” |
