A video showing some people being dragged while protesting on road is widely shared on social media, claiming that people in France dragging the Muslims who were performing namaz.
The post reads: Muslims are doing namaz on road in France. A body-builder throws all from the road. We also do the same in New Bharat.
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.
Performing a Reverse Image Search, we identified the official YouTube channel of Sky News Arabia having the same viral video on December 1, 2022. The title and content of the video were in Arabic (English translation: Pedestrians in France forcefully removed environmental activists demonstrating on the road.)
According to a report related to this video on the website of express.co.uk, protestors sitting near the Levallois bridge in Levallois-Perret, Paris, were brutally dragged to the roadside by car drivers angry at the traffic jam caused by the climate activists. Many other passers-by supported them in this. We could not find any mention of communal angle in any of the above reports.
Thus, it is clear that a video showing environmental activists demonstrating on a road in Paris is shared with a false claim.
