The Claim

A video depicts an Uighur Muslim being tortured in China. 

Emerging story

A video of an officer torturing a naked man went viral on social media. Social media users claimed the video is from a concentration camp in China holding Uighur Muslims. The posts read, “China is crushing the Uighurs. Inside those concentration camps they are holding up to three million Muslims they are beating them to convert their religion, eat pork they are basically trying to impose Islam with Chinese characteristics, or if not they murder them kill them to separate them from their families and friends…”

Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar found the caption to the video to be false. Using InVid we broke the video into multiple keyframes and found that the video has been published in 2017. According to Turban News, the police in the video are the Indonesian National Armed Forces. The man being tortured was caught for his involvement in street crimes. The video is in Indonesia not China and has nothing to do with Uighur Muslims.
