Visuals show Mira road rioters captured by police getting beaten

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The footage does not show rioters arrested after the January 2024 Mira Road violence. It shows police beating people in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, during protests in June 2022 over remarks about Prophet Muhammad; the video also includes a cell image matching reporting on those protests.

Anthony Bourdain, Inés Zorreguieta en Kate Spade zijn vermoord omdat ze bezig waren kinderhandel te ontmaskeren.

Publisher’s rating: Er is geen enkele aanwijzing dat een van deze drie bezig was met het blootleggen van kinderhandel. Alle drie stierven door zelfdoding.

The review examines the claim that the three were killed for exposing child trafficking. It notes that their deaths occurred within a few days in June 2018 and describes the investigations and their reported histories of mental health problems.
