3 teens arrested in Fiji over beating of school student

Three teenagers have been arrested in relation to the beating of a Fiji student that had been filmed and posted online this week.

The group, aged between 15 and 17, has been charged with assault causing actual bodily harm and are due to appear at the Sigatoka Magistrates Court today.

A video, viewed thousands of times, was posted on Facebook this week appearing to show a boy being beaten in a Fiji boarding school.

Facebook removed the video after a request from the country's Online Safety Commission.

Police say the incident took place last year.
