Russian embassy in Syria's Twitter account suspended after posting White Helmets 'fake news'
Telegraph by Yahoo ^ | July 31, 2019

The Russian embassy in Syria’s account on Twitter has been suspended by the social media company after it posted claims “White Helmet” civil defence rescuers were faking images of bombings.

The embassy claimed that news of an air strike on a vegetable market in the Maarat al-Numan neighbourhood of rebel-held Idlib, which left at least 38 civilians dead and 100 wounded, was fabricated and that the market was still intact.

“Twitter suspends accounts that violate Twitter rules,” the default notice on the page of @RusEmbSyria reads without elaborating.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow has yet to offer an official statement, however the Russian embassy in South Africa called Twitter “thought police” for banning the account.
