🚨 Keep a look out for miscaptioned videos and images in response to protests in Iran — like this clip of a man dancing that was taken from a television show in a different country.
Given that the video circulating in September 2022 did not show an Iranian father dancing at his daughter’s funeral but instead depicted a scene from a television show that was created in a different country and on YouTube since at least 2018, we rated this story as “Miscaptioned.”“Ata Ocağı .” YouTube, 8 Jan. 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CGxBciEWws.
