A video depicting the young men being physically assaulted and having their hair forcibly cut has circulated widely on social media. The incident has sparked outrage as it highlights allegations of abuse of power and vigilante justice. Details remain limited, but the footage clearly shows the men being subjected to humiliating and violent treatment. Authorities have not yet commented on the situation, and it is unclear if any arrests have been made in connection with the assault. The incident raises concerns about the safety and rights of individuals accused of crimes, even before due process. This case is likely to fuel further political tensions in the region.
