Old photos of a meditation exercise in Myanmar surfaced in social media posts that falsely claimed they depicted casualties of a magnitude 7.7 quake that struck the Southeast Asian country in late March, killing more than 3,000 people. The pictures taken at the meditation camp date back to at least 2019.<\/h3>\n

“The Buddhist circles are mourning the earthquake in Myanmar, Burma and Thailand. Buddhist devotees and monks are no longer among us. Heartfelt tributes,” read a Hindi-language Facebook\u00a0post<\/a> sharing a set of three pictures on March 29, 2025.<\/p>\n

Two of the photos showed monks lying flat on the ground, while a third showed people in civilian clothes in the same position.<\/p>\n

State media in Myanmar said the death toll<\/a> after the devastating March 28 quake has risen above 3,300, with many people in the country still without shelter because their homes were destroyed or fearing further collapse (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n
