Claim

Social media news pages and personal accounts shared news yesterday saying that more than 3 million people in Indonesia protested in solidarity with Syrian province Idlib.

The groups and accounts attach a photo with the news showing thousands of protestors raising black flags knows as “the Shahada Flag”.

Verify-Sy searched for the source of the photo and the claim and it turns out there was no huge protests in Indonesia in solidarity with Syria lately.

Reverse-search of the attached photo shows it was posted in 2017 for protests the Indonesian capital Jakarta against a new law.
