Claim: Video of police using tear gas and water cannons against Muslim protesters during the ongoing protests in France.
Fact-check: 2012 video from Turkey is being shared as police using tear gas against Muslim protesters in France - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is actually of protests in turkey back in 2012 when students protested in solidarity with the hunger strike by prisoners. they tried to offer prayers on the streets and were dispersed by police using tear gas and water cannons. hence the claim made in the post is false.
