"We are trying to gather information on the distressing incident," Daniel Bekele, the head of the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) told Reuters in a text message. Neither Ethiopia government spokesperson Legesse Tulu, military spokesman Colonel Getnet Adane responded to requests for comment on the video. One man hands a small girl a rock to throw at the boy's head, and later the men force bank notes into the boy's mouth as he lies bleeding from a head wound. Reuters was not able to verify the time and location where the video was filmed or the actions it showed. The film of the flaming man trying to escape and being pushed back by uniformed security forces was posted on social media.
