ALBAWABA - Shocking clips have been emerging on social media of a Syrian refugee horrifically being tortured at the hands of a Lebanese gang after he was kidnapped.
Horrific video circulated on X of the Syrian man, who was identified as Mohammad Imad Al-Khalaf, being electrocuted and tortured as the Lebanese gang is asking money from his family for his release.
According to some activists, Mohammad Imad was kidnapped along with 4 others and the gang asked for a ransom to release them. Four have managed to be released while the Syrian man is still there.
Some people said that the Lebanese gang is asking for a $25,000 ransom for the release of Mohammad Imad Al-Khalaf.
In one of the videos leaked on social media, the Syrian man was seen tied to an iron fence while his body was seen shaking as he was subjected to electrocution.
The Syrian man was seen in another footage hanging from the ceiling while he was being heated using a belt.
Warning/Graphic content:
The videos emerged days after another Syrian refugee was kidnapped and tortured for 15 days before he was released. The Syrian man, named Ali Abed Baqi, died days ago after he disappeared for over two weeks and was known to have been tortured at the hands of known people.
Pictures of the young Syrian man Ali circulated after he was found, with traces of torture on his body, amid a wave of criticism of the growing wave of racism against Syrian refugees in Lebanon especially after the killing of local politician Pascal Suleiman.
