School Headmaster Fired after Video of Him Foot Whipping Students Goes Viral
A video of a school headmaster assaulting students at a school in southern Lebanon went viral on the internet on Tuesday.
The video showed the principal, M. D., brutally foot whipping one terrified student after another, while they cried and begged him to stop.
The school, which belongs to the al-Maqassed Philanthropic Islamic Association, is located in the Sarafand town in southern Lebanon.
Following the incident, Education Minister Elias Abou Saab revealed to LBCI television that the school decided to close on Wednesday, in condemnation of the attack on students.
"A decision has also been taken to expel the principal,” he added.
In October 2013, a teacher in the northern city of Tripoli asked students to beat up a classmate in a brutal way with the aim of “disciplining” him.
