"Gen Z live demonstration in Nairobi CBD Maandamano live in Nairobi CBD 25 June Occupy StateHouse Kenya Protests"
Publisher’s rating: false
DW reports that the video does not show the June 2025 Nairobi protests: its first segment comes from an earlier protest in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and its second shows a gathering in Nairobi on June 25, 2024. The review cites the earlier online posting and identifies locations in both segments using visible landmarks.
जोहरान ममदानी ने न्यूयॉर्क मेयर के चुनाव में जीत हासिल की
Publisher’s rating: भ्रामक
The review found the claim misleading: Mamdani had won the Democratic mayoral primary and become the party’s nominee, not won the mayoral election. It states that the city’s mayoral election was still scheduled for November.
大地震の前にトカラ地方で群発地震が発生する「トカラの法則」?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The Japan Fact-Check Center examined claims circulating alongside a swarm of earthquakes near the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture in June and July 2025. The claims described a “Tokara law”: that swarms there are followed by major earthquakes elsewhere in Japan, and cited the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and other major earthquakes as examples. The review assessed whether the pattern was supported by scientific evidence, rather than whether earthquakes could ever happen after a Tokara swarm. [S1: 「検証対象2025年6月∼7月、トカラ列島付近で地震が群発していることに関連して『トカラ列島の地震には「トカラの法則」というものがある』『トカラ列島で群発地震があった後、日本で巨大地震が起きる』という情報が複数のプラットフォームで大量に拡散している」] The review reports that, from June 21 through July 1, more than 700 earthquakes of seismic intensity 1 or greater occurred in a swarm near the islands. It also describes the check it used: JFC interviewed Junichi Nakajima, an earthquake scientist and professor at the Institute of Science Tokyo, about whether the proposed connection had a scientific basis. Nakajima said it did not, and said the Tokara earthquakes were too small to affect a wide area or trigger earthquakes across Japan. [S1: 「鹿児島県のトカラ列島では、2025年6月21日から7月1日までに700回を超える震度1以上の地震が群発的に続いている。」] [S1: 「日本ファクトチェックセンター(JFC)は、地震学を専門とする東京科学大学の中島淳一教授に取材した。『トカラの法則』に関して、中島氏は『科学的根拠はありません』と明言」] [S1: 「トカラの地震は規模が小さく、広い範囲に影響を及ぼすことはない。つまり、トカラの地震が日本列島の地震を誘発しているとする科学的根拠はない」] The review gives a numerical comparison for 2000 onward: 29 earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater around Japan and 18 Tokara earthquakes of magnitude 4 or greater, excluding earthquakes occurring in sequences within 10 days. It says the timing coincided in two cases, about 11 percent. Because Japan experiences a magnitude-7-or-greater earthquake about once a year, the review argues that apparent coincidences do not establish a predictive relationship; in the cited comparison, the timing did not coincide in the other 89 percent of cases. This supports rejecting the claimed rule as a scientifically established precursor, while not claiming that a major earthquake on any particular date is impossible. [S1: 「2000年以降に日本周辺で発生したマグニチュード7以上の地震は29回、同時期にトカラ列島で起きたM4以上の地震は18回（10日以内に連続して発生した地震を除く）。うち、地震発生の時期が一致したのは2回（約11％）だ。」] [S1: 「日本ではもともと年に1回程度M7以上の地震が起きている。時期が一致するのが11％で、逆に89％は何も起きていないことから、『トカラの法則は都合のいい解釈』に過ぎないという。」]

都議選・八王子で開票に不正?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review examines claims that vote-counting fraud caused San Party candidate Sayuri Yokura’s loss in Hachioji’s June 22, 2025 Tokyo assembly election. It finds that the cited exit-poll discrepancy, pauses in interim tallies, and 2,598 invalid ballots do not establish fraud; Hachioji’s invalid-ballot rate was 1.14%, jointly the lowest among the 62 municipalities.
Video of the Iranian government publicly executing a Jewish Iranian accused of being a Mossad agent, following the Iran-Israel conflict in June 2025.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review found that the video shows backstage footage from the Iranian film *Bi Badan* (*Bodiless*), not a public execution following the June 2025 Iran-Israel conflict. It says the footage was uploaded by stuntman Alireza Donyadide in April 2024, and that the film was released in February 2024.

Publisher’s rating: كاذب
The review says the photos were first posted on Shadhar Al-Said’s account on November 8, 2024, and showed a cat at a COMCEC meeting in Istanbul, not the Arab economic ministerial meeting. It also says Al-Said later clarified that the cat was not hers and was already in the hall.

Publisher’s rating: भ्रामक
The review says the viral video was from 2021 and showed weapons seized by the Taliban in Afghanistan, not weapons recovered from Salauddin’s home. It also says the claim about 3,000 guns, 50,000 cartridges and dollars was false; the review reports a much smaller weapons recovery.

The photos show a Hindu man pulling the beard of a Muslim man and assaulting him in India.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review says the photos show an assault in Ghior Upazila, Bangladesh, not India, and that the attacker was not a Hindu man. It identifies the men as Nasim Bhuiyan and Ali Azam Manik, and reports that Bhuiyan was arrested.
This post on X, with over 50,000 views at the time of writing, claims to show the Weizmann Institute in Israel after a missile strike by Iran.
Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False The image does not show Iran's counterattack on Israel, as it alleges, but instead depicts exactly the opposite—damage caused by Israel's attacks on Iran. Through a reverse image search, we found multiple sources (e.g., here and here) citing that the exact location is Iran's Tabriz base, an important missile facility in the northwest of the country.
