However, the Fact Crescendo Findings show that an unrelated image from another recent incident which happened in Balochistan province of Pakistan on 10 October, has been shared with context to the recent mass killing of Afghan refugees by Iranian Forces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Check: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several media reports emerged about the incident of mass killing of Afghan refugees by Iranian forces while trying to enter the country from Pakistan illegally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For further investigation, we applied Google reverse image search on the image shared by social media users. Also, we noticed the writing which appears on the picture. On the white piece of cloth, the name of Edhi<\/a> is written in English and Urdu, which is a charitable foundation of ambulances and having services in Pakistan. Morver, the shared picture is actually from another recent incident which happened  in Pakistan\u2019s Balochistan province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excelsior News channel<\/a> has published a short video depicting dead people of the balochistan incident, the picture has been used as the thumbnail in the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
