Mauritania fishing boats falsely portrayed as migrant fleet bound for Spain

Spain’s Canary Islands are facing renewed pressure from migrant arrivals, with local authorities declaring a state of emergency.

But the satellite images are misleading: they show a traditional fishing port, not a fleet of migrant vessels. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake.
