False: Video of Greek coastguard shooting at migrant boat in June 2023 After a fishing trawler carrying hundreds of migrants capsized off Greece in June 2023, a video was shared in Pakistani social media posts that falsely claimed it showed survivors of the tragedy being confronted, shot at and sunk by the Greek coastguard. But the video has in fact circulated since at least March 2020 in reports about Greek coast guards attempting to force migrants back towards Turkey. (Source: Agence France-Presse - AFP)
