In the video, a group of young men was forced to lie in dirty, muddy water while military personnel brandished weapons.
It is unclear what the operation is and who authorized it, but sources say it took place on Friday, July 15, 2022, at one of Anglogold Ashanti’s sites.
Over 30 miners were reported to have sneaked into the company’s underground pits despite warnings and were said to be mining when armed security agencies apprehended them.
While waiting to transport the suspects to the nearest police station, the uniformed soldiers were heard making disparaging remarks about them.
However, there are concerns about human rights violations because foreigners are not subjected to such treatment when arrested.
