> A video circulating on social media shows a group of Syrian General Security officers physically and verbally assaulting a transgender person. The footage includes scenes of beating and threats such as: “Take out your manhood so we can cut it off.” > Many in Syria expressed “support” for this violence, commenting: “Looks like these guys are planning to rid us of these disgusting sights in the streets." Others, however, condemned it, saying: "This is not the Syria we love”, “In today's Syria, no one should be humiliated,” and "The video shared by the officers, where they are beating a trans person, is very ugly and horrifying. It will severely damage Syria’s standing in the international community.” > For more info: https://www.instagram.com/raseef22en/
