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.
