They demanded their salaries, and the official ran over them.. Video

During the past hours, a shocking video spread, circulated by a number of Kuwaiti activists and tweeters, of an official in a cleaning company running over a number of workers.

In the video clip, a number of workers appeared to block the car of an official in a cleaning company in the country, apparently, to prevent him from leaving, demanding payment of their salaries and dues.

However, the man quickly took off his car, not caring about the possibility of running over a number of protesters, to escape the anger of the workers.

While there was no official comment from the company or the authorities on the incident, a number of tweeters accused a local company of delaying the payment of workers' salaries for months.

Some also claimed that the aforementioned company did not even renew their residency permits, and did not allow them to take leave to travel and see their families.

While others considered that what is happening against these workers is similar to human trafficking, demanding accountability for the defaulting companies, which violate human rights, whoever they are.

And social media was also buzzing last month, with a run-over incident in Al-Ahmadi Governorate in Kuwait, while the Ministry of Interior later announced that the perpetrator had turned himself in, and an investigation is underway.
