Girl beaten up for serving alcohol in bar

Paris: A young female bartender was reportedly beaten in France after she served alcohol during the holy Muslim month of Ramzan.

“I was all alone in the bar when two passersby stormed in. They pointed at the alcohol bottles at the counter, and one of them told me in Arabic, 'You should be ashamed of serving alcohol during Ramzan,” the woman, a Muslim, said. They left, but one of them came back soon afterwards and beat the woman, hitting her on the face and knocking her to the ground.

The assault was caught on a CCTV camera and reported to police. “Serving alcohol doesn’t mean I’m not following my (religious) duties. I'm doing it because I am a bartender,” she added.
