The viral video shows a massive Muslim rally held to protest against the movie Udaipur Files.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY identifies the video as a rally in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, organised by the All Jamaath and District Ulemas Federation to oppose the Waqf Amendment Act—not a protest against Udaipur Files. It reports that the rally took place on 14 April 2025.

Publisher’s rating: False

外国人は不起訴だらけ?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review addresses posts circulating during a House of Councillors election campaign that claimed foreigners were rarely prosecuted or that the non-prosecution rate for foreign crime was rising. It says it checked the claim against figures in the Ministry of Justice’s 2024 White Paper on Crime, comparing prosecution rates for foreigners with the overall figures. 【S1:「参院選で外国人受け入れが争点の一つとなる中で『外国人は不起訴だらけ』『外国人犯罪の不起訴率が上がっている』『外国人犯罪の不起訴が多い』などの投稿がX、TikTok、YouTubeなど複数のプラットフォームで大量に拡散している」】【S1:「法務省が公開している犯罪白書の最新データを見ると」】 For 2023, the review reports a prosecution rate of 36.9% for criminal-code offenses overall and 41.1% for foreign suspects. It adds that over the preceding ten years, the overall rate stayed in the 30% range while the rate for foreigners stayed in the 40% range, with the foreigner rate higher in every year. 【S1:「2023年の起訴率は殺人や強盗や傷害などの刑法犯全体で36.9%、外国人の刑法犯起訴率は41.1%と外国人の方が高い。」】【S1:「過去10年を遡っても全体が30％台なのに対し、外国人は40％台で、いずれの年も外国人の方が起訴率は高い」】 The review distinguishes those offenses from special-law offenses. For special-law cases, it reports rates of 45.4% overall and 41.9% for foreigners; however, it says that excluding immigration-law violations—which are specific to foreign nationals and account for most of the foreigner cases in this category—brings the rates to nearly the same level. The review therefore does not present one undifferentiated comparison across all offense types: its conclusion about criminal-code offenses differs from the qualified comparison for special-law offenses. 【S1:「風営適正化法や銃刀法などの特別法犯の起訴率だと、全体で45.4%、外国人が41.9%と外国人の方が3.5ポイント低くなる。」】【S1:「外国人に特有の犯罪で、しかも、大半を占める入管法違反の事例を特別法犯から除くと、日本人とほぼ同水準となる」】

ベッセント米財務長官の来日目的は不正選挙の監視?

The photo shows former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar posing in front of Virat Kohli’s portrait at Lord’s in England.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review says the viral image is digitally altered: the original shows Sachin Tendulkar at the unveiling of his own portrait, not Virat Kohli’s. It points to visual differences and AI analysis as evidence that the viral image may be AI-generated.
The video shows ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans raised during a Muharram procession in Deoria district, Uttar Pradesh in July 2025.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that Deoria Police identified the chant in the video as “Five Star Zindabad,” not “Pakistan Zindabad.” It says members of the local Five Star Club akhada were chanting during the procession and that the video was misrepresented.

生活保護世帯数の33％が外国人世帯?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review investigated social-media posts circulating from around March 2025 that claimed roughly 560,000 of Japan’s approximately 1.65 million households receiving public assistance were foreign households. It says the posts compared figures drawn from different periods and counting methods, rather than matching like with like. The review traced the 560,000 figure to a Nippon.com article that described 568,197 foreign households as receiving assistance “in 2022.” Nippon.com later apologized and removed the original article. Its correction explained that 568,197 was the sum of monthly recipient counts across 12 months, not the number of distinct foreign households receiving assistance. The review identifies the approximately 1.65 million figure as the total for July 2024, making the comparison a 12-month sum against a single month. For a comparable annual estimate, the review cites the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s 2023 annual survey: at the end of July 2023, 45,973 of 1,626,263 households receiving assistance had a foreign head of household, or about 2.8%. On the figures and counting-period mismatch it describes, the one-third claim is not supported.
