DISINFO: American NGO lies about Russian involvement in attacks against schools in Syria

SUMMARY

The American NGO Human Rights Watch lies about Russian involvement in attacks on schools in Syria.

RESPONSE

Human Rights Watch has presented evidence such as witness statements, videos and satellite imagery to support their claims. Furthermore, their claims are supported by several other NGO's and state representatives. Russian officials first claimed that they were not involved, and later claimed that the attack did not take place - in spite of the evidence presented.
