But this photo is also mixed, and the original copy belongs to Syrian female students in a Turkish school that receives refugees.
The post shows three hooded girls sitting on a bench in a similar classroom, one of them looking into the camera lens. The photo’s publishers said, “Iman Khalif is at school during his middle school days.”

It can be seen that the logo of the Humanitarian Relief Group is on the bags on the table in front of the girls.
