कानपुर, साहेब बच्चे को लग जाएगी, बच्चे को लग जाएगी साहब. पुलिस की मार खाता ये व्यक्ति चीखता रहा लेकिन खाकी के नशे में चूर इन पुलिस वालों ने एक ना सुनी। अगर बच्चे को कुछ हो जाता तो इसकी जिम्मेदारी कौन लेता। लोकसभा चुनाव 2024।

Publisher’s rating: Missing context. पुलिस लाठीचार्ज के इस वीडियो का लोकसभा चुनाव से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है। ये वीडियो साल 2021 में कानपुर देहात के एक अस्पताल के बाहर प्रदर्शनकारियों पर हुए पुलिस एक्शन का है।

New Yorker article about Lucy Letby is not available in the UK for legal reasons

Publisher’s rating: Access to the article has been limited in the UK in order to “comply with a court order”, the New Yorker said. Letby is due to face a retrial in June on one count of attempted murder on which the jury had previously been unable to reach a verdict. In England, it is generally prohibited to publish anything which might prejudice a trial before it takes place. The 34-year-old nurse has also submitted a bid to challenge her convictions at the Court of Appeal but the full details of her grounds for appeal cannot currently be reported because of a court order.

Research from related reporting says a New Yorker article about Lucy Letby was initially blocked in the UK because it might influence her trial. This supports the claim that UK access was restricted for legal reasons.

Governo coloca em sigilo números de fugas em presídios brasileiros

Publisher’s rating: FALSO

Comprova rated the post false because it used a manipulated screenshot placing Lula and Guilherme Boulos in a report that did not mention them. The review says the report described prison-escape data as “caráter reservado,” and that the ministry said the information had been classified for 10 years, not by the current administration.
