The claim
Índia pede pena de morte para cientista da OMS que bloqueou o acesso à ivermectina
Original review summary
The review says the claim is misleading: the Indian Bar Association (IBA) is a voluntary lawyers’ association, not a government body, and its legal notices were not court proceedings. The WHO told Estadão Verifica it had received no formal lawsuit against Swaminathan.[S1]
Additional context
The review also reports that the IBA filed a formal complaint on July 13, 2021, seeking charges against several people; it does not describe that complaint as a death-penalty request by the Indian government. [S1]
