Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says it could not independently verify whether the people shown are Persians. [S1]

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the claim misinterprets figures for foreign nationals apprehended in Kawaguchi City in 2024: Chinese, Turkish, and Vietnamese nationals together made up 75.8% of foreign nationals apprehended, not 70% of all people apprehended for criminal offenses. The city official cited in the review described the 178-person total as the number of foreign nationals apprehended for criminal offenses.
