A painful video clip, which showed a Turkish man kicking a 70-year-old Syrian woman in the face in the southern city of Gaziantep, sparked a wave of anger on the communication sites, as comments poured out, which considered that this scene sums up the amount of oppression that Syrian refugees suffer, both in Turkey or others.
The security authorities issued a statement announcing the identification and detention of the assailant. Police data showed that the accused had a criminal record of 9 previous criminal records.
It is noteworthy that Turkey hosts, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, about 3.6 million registered Syrian refugees.
