Old photo shows graves for flood victims, not drug addicts robbing the dead
Sierra Leone is battling an epidemic of drug abuse by its youth. Recent social media posts claimed that a photo of people digging graves showed addicts removing human bones to grind into a synthetic drug called “kush”. But the claim is false: AFP Fact Check found that the photo showed graves being dug for the victims of a mudslide in the West African country in 2017.
