“Curfews and media blackout cannot contain revolutions that emerge as a result of grave human rights violations. Yet Indian Govt continues to alienate Kashmir. Unarmed men, women, children being attacked by Indian Army. Inhumane!”<\/em><\/p>\n

OLD VIDEOS TWEETED BY PTI<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The video in question, tweeted by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and claimed to be of a recent crackdown in the Kashmir valley, is actually a combination of two old videos.<\/p>\n

In the video tweeted by PTI, the logo of JK News <\/em>(a local news channel)\u00a0can be seen at the bottom right corner along with the date which states August 23, 2019. This suggests that the video has been shared recently. Moreover, the Facebook Live icon can be seen in the top left corner of the screen.<\/p>\n

Alt News broke the video into several frames using InVid, and reverse-searched some of these frames. We found that the first part of the video i.e. from 0:00 to 1:29 minutes, pertains to a protest<\/a> which took place in Kashmir in 2018. According to its description, the clashes between people and security personnel took place at HMT, Srinagar.<\/p>\n
