Claim: Video of Sri Lankan Ministers getting beaten by the public.
Fact-check: The people getting beaten in this video are reportedly prisoners, not Sri Lankan Ministers - FACTLY
Verdict: the half-naked people kneeling in the video are not sri lankan ministers. several sri lankan media agencies have reported that the people in the video are alleged prisoners who have been brought to attack the protesters. while there were some attacks directed at the ruling party, the visuals in the video do not show them. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
