- description: Horrific video of 'police beating prostitutes until they are nearly unconscious' provokes outrage in Thailand Footage shows women punched, kicked and knocked to the floor by men Women are said to be Burmese prostitutes, their attackers Thai or Burmese YouTube film highlights appalling conditions for prostitutes in Thailand Disturbing footage showing Burmese prostitutes being violently attacked by a group of men has gone viral on the internet, prompting calls for more to be done to help such women. The four-minute clip, which was shown on Thai television news last night, shows a group of defenceless young women being punched and kicked repeatedly by several men. One of the women who is singled out after she tries to call or text someone on her mobile is practically beaten unconscious by the men - who some said were police officers - in what appears to be a closed room. The film, which seems to have been shot on a mobile phone and has been viewed on YouTube 40,000 times, is accompanied by a voiceover of Thai newscasters who report that the men are not Thai but Burmese. The newsreaders say the men are sending the women back to Myanmar (Burma) for 'misbehaving'. However critics in Thailand have suggested the men are Thai, and possibly even police officers. The horrifying footage highlights the plight faced by thousands of young Burmese women who are trafficked to Thailand to work in the sex trade there.
