On Thursday, a video showing a teenager being beaten by young girls quickly went viral on social networks and relayed by far-right sites. The footage shows the teenager being beaten for almost a minute, receiving slaps, knees and being dragged to the ground by her hair. “Talk about my brother again.”threatens one of the attackers, while two others film the scene.
