BCHR in Septemeber launched an online campaign against the many fake news about the number of migrants and their alleged large-scale settlement in Serbia, the “privileges” they enjoy, and many other untrue, incomplete or unverified information about them.
The campaign aimed to provide the public, especially people who get most of their news from social networks, with accurate information about the migrant population and its size, and to familiarise them with national and international legal documents governing refugee law and migration.
The campaign was launched on social networks and included a series of posts in the form of electronic posters or brochure on BCHR’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram profiles. The posts were short and simple and summarised various facts, regulations and statistics, providing the readers with links to sources where they could check the information or familiarise themselves with the issues in greater detail.
