iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) reports riot-police beating of graduates

WHAT HAPPENED

On the morning of 16 August 2026, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) reported that riot forces assaulted medical-profession graduates with batons and clubs, then posted video of a man with facial injuries it identified as a protester beaten outside the Ministry of Health. Visual review of that video shows a man with a forehead abrasion and a swollen eye in a crowd; it does not show the alleged beating or identify the location. No other collected channel carried the report, and no press account of the incident is in the window.
