The largest social network has suspended 32 accounts because” have been participating in organised activities”, the DailyMail writes.
One of the users had promoted a false protest in Washington against the right arm in August last year.
About 2600 people had expressed interest in the event, while 600 others had confirmed their participation in the previous protest near the White House.
This type of behavior is not allowed on Facebook because we do not want certain people or organisations to create networks to lie to others about who they are or what they do”, said a statement by Facebook officials.
Furthermore, it is said that it is still not known who is behind this coordinated campaign because they have kept their identities secret strictly.
