The TikTok account, named "drilonche", published a video yesterday (May 17), with the caption claiming that in the footage shown in the video, people of the Islamic faith are seen, with their hands tied, being killed at sea.
Hibrid.info, through search engines, has confirmed that the video in question shows military training of Khmer special forces in Cambodia.
Link to the video material published on TikTok by the "drilonche" account:
After research conducted through online search engines, more precisely through "InVID", hibrid.info has managed to find a material published on September 6, 2018, in the Cambodian medium, "Khmerload.com". (see here)
In the material published on the "Khmerload.com" website, through photographs taken from the video (which is not available to view), it is shown that the video actually shows footage from Cambodian special forces training.
Analyze:
The TikTok account "drilonche" has published a fake video showing people of the Islamic faith being thrown into the sea to be killed.
The video displayed is not complete and is detached from another video.
Hibrid.info has managed to confirm that the other full video shows Cambodian special forces training.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this claim as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
