A video showing a Kuwaiti shop owner abusing an Egyptian employee suspected of stealing has made the rounds in the Arabic news media and on social media in recent days.
Here is a partial transcript of the video:
“You Son of a b*tch, turn around to face the wall!” (whips and curses are heard)
Employee: “In the life of the Prophet, please listen to me. I’ll get you the man who stole from me, he came to fix his phone, and said he wanted to buy one… I gave him a phone, he took it and…”
His employer cut him off, saying: “You son of a b*tch, you stole it. You are the dirtiest man in Alaziziya.”
Employee: “I swear to Allah, I didn’t steal.”
Abu Abdullah grabbed him by his hair and slapped him: “Cut it out, you son of a b*tch. Enough with your excuses, you son of a dog. I’m going to take you to the police.”
“I’m at your service, whatever you decide. I’m a victim here, Abu Abdullah,” replies the employee.
His employer replied: “I’ll piss on you, you son of a b*tch.”
The video went viral on social media and led to the launch of the hashtag #Kuwaiti_employer_stripsegyptian_employee_and_beats_
Sultan wrote: “Such a despicable thing to do! Even if he slaughtered your father you should have turned him in to the police rather than humiliate him in this way, you bastard.”
