Son of Hezbollah official films rape, torture of Syrian boy

Three Lebanese youths, including a son of a senior Hezbollah official, filmed themselves beating and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old Syrian refugee in east Lebanon, multiple Arab media sources reported this week.

According to reports, the names of the perpetrators are Hadi Qamar, Mustafa Sha’shoua and Hassan Sha’shoua.

The video, showing the three man verbally and physically abusing the boy, went viral on social media, with Syrian and Lebanese users calling for the perpetrators’ arrest and prosecution.

“Three Lebanese men raped a 13-year-old Syrian refugee, taking pictures as they took turns abusing him,” a Twitter user posted under the hashtag #العدالة_للطفل_السوري (Justice for the Syrian boy).

“Until they are arrested, here are the pictures of these fanatic monsters. I hope everyone posts them,” the tweet said.

“May who[ever] decides to burn a little child’s soul like that burn in hell and suffer for the rest of their life,” another user named Sabin wrote on Twitter.
