I mean, I have no idea what's actually happening in that photo. Maybe they are being forced. but there are no visible military and seems like regular civilians in the crowd. Also, they're piled on top of the train, so escape would be easy

Yeah so you should probably read about what you’re taking about before you say a bunch of dumb shit.

I wasn't saying they were or weren't being forced, just that the photo doesn't make it appear that way 🤷

It could simply be a train unrelated to the event described in OP's headline. I honestly wouldn't know. Just commented that it looks rather different than I'd imagine
