Below you will find an example of an event the DVC was asked to verify. During the geolocation process, the DVC managed to geolocate the site of the event, but the process was not straightforward as pitfalls were encountered. See, for example, image 7 below. 5.1.1 Case Study In this example, the DVC managed to geolocate the site of the event. The content below depicted a protest in Guinea, which was dispersed by police. 30 people were allegedly injured and eight killed during the protest. However, this was not possible to verify and only one video showed policemen with guns. The excerpts from the report below shows how the DVC was able to identify the location of the protest by analyzing geolocators and maps. Image 1. This screenshot depicts the police in the Guinean Capital, Conakry, using tear gas to disperse the protest. Potential indicators in this image are the “Total Gas” Station in the background, as well as the structure in front of it. Other indicators include the signs, and what looks like train tracks in the background. Image 2. This screenshot clearly shows a sign saying “Attention Au Train,” it is clear the location is slightly different from the image above but it is clear the police run towards the train tracks followed by protesters (see image below). In this case the train tracks and these signs are important indicators. Image 3. This screenshot depicts the police running on train tracks: a good indicator. The ‘Tele Centre’ sign at the forefront of the image can also be helpful. 31
