Imam perform apparent exorcism on a girl at the side of the road

The young girl, who is 'being cleansed' in the ceremony, is snarling as a man - identified as an imam -performs the ritual, which is intended to drive out evil spirits.

The man is chanting over the girl as he sits cross-legged, dressed in white.
She is wearing a full black veil with only her eyes visible, and reacts violently to his words, which are a mixture of French and other languages.
As well as rocking back and forth and fighting his hold on her arms, she is making snarling sounds beneath her veil.
In the background, some casually dressed young men watch as the drama unfolds, before the video abruptly ends.

According to reports, the subject was one of 20 schoolgirls from Jean Lafosse College in St Louis on the French Indian Ocean island of Réunion who had been suffering from fits and screaming episodes.
The exorcism was reportedly performed by someone named Imam Raquy in February 2016 on the island, which has a Christian majority.
It's reportedly not clear whether the ceremony, which some have reported is Muslim, was successful.
