On Monday, an unidentified man reportedly raped a 9 year old Syrian boy in Saida. The child was later found on Saida’s corniche, where his claims were confirmed after medical checkups. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there has been a rise in such gruesome incidents throughout Lebanon, when just last week the Internal Security Forces arrested a suspected child rapist in Aley. <\/p>\n
His arrest was followed by a number of complaints and claims from a series of young Syrian boys who claimed they had been being raped by a man in the area. The 45 year old Syrian man was later detained and confessed to raping four boys between the ages of nine and sixteen, on several occasions. <\/p>\n
To add insult to injury, the ISF confiscated his phone, where they found numerous graphic videos of him raping and abusing young boys, sometimes more than one simultaneously. <\/p>\n
Monday’s report of another young boy being raped is a clear sign that this is becoming a serious threat to children’s safety, both girls and boys of displaced demographics – and all throughout Lebanon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
