A video circulating online shows two protesters outside the Egyptian Mission to the UN in New York being forcibly dragged inside and assaulted by staff members.
The two, one a minor, were protesting outside the building, demanding the reopening of the Rafah border crossing in Egypt and allowing aid into Gaza. They were reportedly detained by New York Police.
The incident occurred just days after a leaked phone call, in which Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty was heard instructing Egyptian embassies around Europe to grab protesters, drag them inside and restrain them.
