A video apparently showing an Egyptian stripped and beaten by his Kuwaiti employer has been making the rounds on social media and the local press. A statement from Kuwait’s Interior Ministry announced that the assailant (a Kuwaiti national) had been arrested and claims the incident took place a year and a half ago, Al Mal reports. Ahram Online has the story in English. The video, running nearly two and a half minutes, is on Youtube and is disturbing. We’ve thought long and hard about whether to include the link. Given the penchant for social media and the domestic press to exaggerate and fabricate stories of abuse by GCC-based employers, we ultimately felt that the video has sufficient probative value to include it. That said: We’d advise you to give it a pass and trust us that it appears authentic.
