Английская Википедия:2015 Rio Bravo lynching
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox news event
Fourteen-year-old girl Bedelyn Esther Orozco Gómez was burned to death in Río Bravo, Suchitepéquez, Guatemala, in May 2015 by a vigilante mob after being accused by some of involvement in the killing of a moto taxi driver. A video of the lynching was later uploaded to YouTube and widely circulated on Guatemalan social media.
Lynching
The lynching took place on 10 May 2015 in the Guatemalan village of Río Bravo.[1] According to local media, Orozco Gómez had been accused of being involved in the murder of Carlos Enrique González Noriega, a 68-year-old moto taxi driver. Residents claimed Orozco Gómez, along with two other men, shot González Noriega after he had refused to pay protection money.[1] The two male accomplices escaped, but Orozco was captured by a mob and dragged to the town center.[2][3]
A crowd of at least one hundred people—including women and children—watched as Orozco Gómez was repeatedly punched and kicked by vigilantes. Police attempted to intervene, but were blocked from the area by the mob, and fled the scene instead.[2][4] After being severely beaten, a member of the crowd doused Orozco Gómez in gasoline and burned her to death.[1][2][3]
Viral video
Seven days after the lynching, a video of the attack surfaced online.[1] The video was uploaded to YouTube, where it received thousands of views before being removed.[2][5] The video was also widely shared on Guatemalan social media networks, where it prompted debate on vigilante justice.[3][4]
Fake news usage
The video has also been shared on social media with captions falsely claiming that Orozco Gómez was a Hindu from Madhya Pradesh, India who was burned alive for attending a prayer service at a Christian church.[6][7] Following the Fall of Kabul in 2021, the video was once again circulated on social media, this time being purported to depict an Afghan girl.[8] In October 2023, the video was again widely shared on social media, with people falsely claiming that it depicted the killing of an Israeli girl by members of Hamas.[9]
