IN SHORT: A graphic doing the rounds on social media in Kenya appears to show the BBC reporting that Kenyan police used toxic gas against protesters. But there is no evidence that the news agency reported this.
The graphic features the BBC logo and shows pink smoke billowing in front of a building.
The text at the bottom of the graphic reads: “BREAKING NEWS. KENYAN POLICE USE POISONOUS GASES AGAINST FAIRLY PEACEFUL PROTESTORS.”
Users who posted it have accused the Kenyan government of poisoning its citizens.
One user said: “The BBC is now reporting that the police are using poisonous gases on peaceful protesters in Kenya. Doesn’t this raise a lot of questions? When goons invaded the streets and started looting and destroying properties, the police watched from a distance but when peaceful protesters go to the streets with flags and whistles, they are poisoned?”..
