A widely circulated video purportedly shows a man sitting on the floor being kicked and beaten by another person. The video is accompanied by claims that the incident took place in China and that the victim, a Muslim man, was being punished for praying in public.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.
The Video Does Not Show an Attack on a Muslim Man in China
Misbar's team found that the video dates back to 2020 and is from Thailand.
On November 30, Matichon Online reported the video showcasing the incident at a Thai loan company. The video captured a group of employees at work, all wearing company shirts adorned with the loan lender's logo, gathered around a conference room. Several loan collectors were forced to kneel on the floor, facing a man who appeared to be either their supervisor or the owner of the company.
The man stood menacingly behind one employee, and before unleashing a brutal assault, a voice clearly heard on the video asks, "Didn't I tell you not to do it?" Without warning, the man violently kicked the employee in the face, sending him tumbling to the ground.
