The claim
Visuals showing the vandalized statue of Rabindranath Tagore in Bangladesh amid the ongoing 2024 unrest in the country
Original review summary
The review found that the visuals do not depict events during Bangladesh’s 2024 unrest. The photo shows a Tagore statue vandalized in 2023, while the video shows the statue’s installation at Dhaka University.[S1]
Additional context
The review says students installed the sculpture on 14 February 2023 as a protest against censorship and restrictions on free expression. University authorities removed it on 16 February because it had been placed without informing the administration; students later reconstructed it. [S1]
