FAKE NEWS ON AN INJURED BABY WAS CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

A photography of a wounded baby was circulating on social media last night.

A description of the posts on social media stated that the injuries on the baby’s face were caused by the police officers in Niksic, which is the additional proof of their alleged brutality. Along with the pages on Facebook, the photo was posted on the profiles of the politicians Nebojsa Medojevic and Marko Milacic. Medojevic and Milacic asked the citizens to share the photo so that as many people as possible would see how far the regime could go. However, this was a manipulation – photography was not taken in Niksic nor did the police physically assaulted the child. The photo was downloaded from the internet, which is easy to determine with a simple research. After it had been concluded that this is fake news, Medojevic and Milacic removed the debatable post.
