Footage from September 2022 of a crowd clashing with police officers in London, during protests over the death of Iranian woman Mahsa Amini, has been falsely portrayed online as showing a scuffle of pro-Palestinian protesters in 2023.
The claim surfaced on social media after hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through the British capital on Nov. 11.
Police arrested over 120 people as they sought to stop far-right protesters from ambushing the main rally, as Reuters reported.
According to a BBC report, the 2022 protest was sparked by the death of Amini while she was in police custody in Tehran.
The video was filmed in September 2022 during protests over the death of Iranian woman Mahsa Amini.
