Summary

French customs officers at Paris Orly airport confiscated a shipment of human organs from Ukraine. The intercepted organs were “200 nasal septums and sphincters” and were sent from Dnipro Military Hospital, intended for Saudi Arabia.

Disproof

No evidence given, and no reports in credible media. Dnipro Military Hospital deputy director Victor Pysanko states that his hospital has never sent any human organs anywhere and called the entire matter ridiculous. Furthermore, nasal septums and sphincters are not organs used for human transplants. bit.ly/2ppzf9T,

Disinfo: There is a genocide in Ukraine, to be blamed on...

There is a genocide in Ukraine, to be blamed on the criminal group that seized power in Ukraine during the coup d’état of February 20-22, 2014, with the direct and indirect assistance of the governments of a number of foreign states (the U.S, Germany, France, Poland).

Disproof

No evidence of genocide has been provided. // The spontaneous onset of the Euromaidan protests was a reaction of large parts of the Ukrainian population to former President Yanukovych’s sudden departure from the Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013.

Disinfo: Muslims were "celebrating" in the aftermath of the terrorist attack

Muslims were “celebrating” in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the Champs-Elysees in Paris which left one person dead on the night of Thursday, 20th of April.

Disproof

The video was posted by a leader of Britain First – a far-right British political organization. The footage is actually a group of Pakistanis in London – on the outskirts of Tooting Broadway, southwest of the British capital – celebrating a victory for Pakistan in a cricket match in 2009. The video was posted on YouTube on June 22, 2009. After being alerted by several Internet users, the tweet was deleted. Further debunking by CrossCheck.
