A photograph shows a woman wearing a sign reading 'My Legs Are Open for Refugees.'
An old image purportedly showing a woman wearing a sign reading â€œMy Legs Are Open for Refugeesâ€ gained tractionÂ on social media after it was posted to political consultant Roger Stoneâ€™s Facebook page Stone Cold TruthÂ on 2 May 2017: This image has been digitally manipulated.Â The original photograph was taken during a refugee support rally in the Canadian city of Saskatoon in September 2015 and shows a woman wearing a sign reading â€œMy Door is Open For Refugees.â€ Hereâ€™s a look at the doctored image (left) and the original photograph (right): A local radio station reported on their web site at the time: < As Syrian refugees continue to flee their homes and make a perilous journey across hundreds of kilometres, a couple hundred people came out Sunday to show them support in Saskatoon Sunday. Their signs read â€œRefugees are Welcomeâ€ and â€œNo one is Illegalâ€ as the large procession streamed through downtown from city hall to the Service Canada Centre on 1st Avenue. > The uncropped version of the photograph, which was taken by reporter LasiaÂ Kretzel for CKOM News, showed the logo for Amnesty International, a human rights group that has been using the slogan â€œMy Door Is Open For Refugeesâ€ since at least 2014. Amnesty International supporters can be seen carrying (and wearing) similar signs in the following photograph:
"canadian" AND "legs" AND "open" AND "refugees"
