Shocking footage has emerged of a teenage girl being attacked by a crowd of men for dressing ‘immodestly’ at a motorcycle event in Iraq.
The 17-year-old was targeted by a male mob who accused her of distracting riders at the racing event in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
Video filmed and shared by a racegoer in Sulaymaniyah showed the teenager attempting to walk away from the area before being forced to run as a crowd of men pursued her screaming: ‘B****’.
The girl, who is an Iranian national, was wearing a black vest top with a cardigan and a skirt.

Men at this specific event, on December 30, demanded that women be excluded, according to a report by Kurdistan’s Draw Media.
The girl was accompanied a male friend, named as A Khanaq, who tried to intervene and escort her to safety.
But he was beaten and stabbed by the crowd, according to a report in The National News.
Sixteen men have been arrested by Sulaymaniyah police in connection with the incident and multiple knives and swords were also recovered from the suspects’ possession.
The incident comes as female demonstrators in neighbouring Iran continue to tear off their hijabs, cut off their hair and battle officers in protest after a young woman died in police custody having been arrested for not wearing the veil.
Just days ago an Iranian woman was jailed for ten years for ‘encouraging prostitution’ after she removed her headscarf at a protest last year.
