Two innocent men have been burned alive by a massive lynch mob after WhatsApp rumours branded them child abductors.
A large crowd gathered outside the police station after rumours spread about the two men.
A mob dragged two men out of a police station, savagely beat them and then set them on fire, killing them, after a false rumour was spread on WhatsApp about the pair being child kidnappers.
The mother of one of the men made a desperate plea for the crowd to stop as she watched the lynching unfold on a Facebook livestream.

That's exactly what they want you to think. It's the 21st century white man's burden. "Washington’s censorship regime goes global." Facebook deletes WSWS post on Sri Lanka [wsws.org]:
Same applies to the much hyped reports of mob justice in India and apparently now Mexico. Perhaps the media felt like hyping an event in Mexico today to help build the impression that the migrant caravan are a bunch of uncivilized criminals.
(Don't be distracted by the media's constant Trump distraction. Trump has done nothing that is out of line with the program the elites have been putting in place for some time now in Western countries.)
