A graphic and heart-wrenching video circulating on social media shows three men physically beating, assaulting, and raping a boy.
Editorial Purpose: We are sharing this piece of content to give a voice to our people and possibly mobilize change.
It is unclear whether the assault occurred once or repeatedly, with some media outlets stating that the video apparently dates back to two years. The child, identified as Mohammad H, is seen being beaten and forced into sexual acts by several men. We will not embed the video out of respect for the survivor’s privacy.
The rape reportedly took place in the Bekaa village of Suhmor, where Mohammad had been working to try to help his family. All of the rapists had used their cell phones to film the gruesome acts, with one of them eventually leaking the video to the Facebook Page Al Mountada Alikhbari.
According to Annahar, Internal Security Forces are investigating the matter, with media personality Joe Maalouf urging all political figures to no interfere and allow justice to take its course.
We hope Mohammad finds recourse to justice, though it will never undo the horrific acts, it may bring survivors of sexual violence some peace.

We urge all political parties in bekaa not to interfere in the case of rape and sexual harrasment of a 13 yrs old and to submit the people behind it as soon as possible to the @LebISF and the courts. A warrant has been issued yesterday https://t.co/LZ1zHmGlyd
