Sri Lankan Migrant Worker Tied to Forklift in South Korea, Sparks Outrage⁠ ⁠ A shocking video has surfaced showing a 31-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker bound with plastic wrap and moved around by a forklift at a brick factory in Naju, South Korea. The disturbing footage, filmed in February and released by human rights activists, shows the man being mocked as fellow workers laugh in the background.⁠ ⁠ The act, allegedly "punishment" for poor brick wrapping, has been widely condemned. South Korea’s President Lee Jae-myung called it a "barbaric violation of human rights" and ordered swift action. The Labour Ministry has launched an investigation into abuse, wage violations and broader treatment of foreign workers at the factory.⁠ ⁠ Factory officials claimed it was a prank, but activists argue the incident reflects deeper systemic abuse and discrimination against migrant laborers in South Korea.⁠ ⁠ 📽️ Video by: Gabriel Jung⁠ 🤳 Click our link in bio to sign up for our daily newsletter⁠...
