“The video shows innocent Christians being buried alive by Islamic terrorists in Sudan.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show Christians being buried alive by Islamic terrorists in Sudan. It actually shows a 2016 incident in South Africa’s Mpumalanga province, where two white farmers, Theo Martins Jackson and Willem Oosthuizen, assaulted a black man named Victor Mlotshwa and forced him into a coffin. Both were later convicted of assault, kidnapping, and attempted murder, and sentenced to 14 and 11 years in prison, respectively. The viral video is unrelated to Sudan.
