Child labourers in Iran are being physically and sexually abused by local public officials, as they try to earn small amounts of money working on the streets, according to a video published by state-run media outlet Asr-e Iran.
In the disturbing video, one little girl recounts that she and two of her brothers were selling walnuts on the street, while also doing their homework when Regime officials approached and grabbed the three children.
She said that the agents took off her older brother’s clothes and began beating him with sticks, which caused her younger brother to cry. The agents then tried to make the girl polish their shoes and when she refused, they rubbed black polish on her face.
A social worker commenting on the case said that the children were also sexually abused.
