A Chinese tourist documented, today Friday, through a video clip her experience of physical harassment, being followed, and stoned by a group of teenagers during her visit to the ancient city of Babylon.

The Chinese tourist stated in the video that was circulated by media and received by the news video agency that she came to Iraq to visit ancient Babylon, indicating that a group of boys started asking to take pictures with her before their number increased and they began to follow her while she was moving around the archaeological site.

The tourist confirmed that she was subjected to physical harassment and that it happened again, which prompted her to identify one of the culprits and confront him, noting that the teenagers continued to follow her and throw stones at her despite her objections, until a local citizen intervened and stopped them.

She expressed her intense anger at the incident, explaining that the citizen's intervention was the decisive factor for the group to stop, and she was astonished by their lack of response to her when she defended herself until another man intervened.
