Treinconducteurs op het traject tussen Erfurt en Suhl in Duitsland hoeven de tickets van migranten niet langer te controleren.

Publisher’s rating: De spoorwegmaatschappij zegt dat er geen algemene instructie is om de kaartjes van migranten niet te controleren. Het lijkt erop dat het artikel, gepubliceerd door Thüringer Allgemeine, foutief begrepen is door de Facebookgebruiker. Een woordvoerster van de Süd-Thüringen-Bahn vertelde dat het treinpersoneel "alleen in moeilijke situaties" zelf kan kiezen wat te doen om een moeilijke situatie te kalmeren.

Die Frau aus dem «Sylt-Video» wurde exmatrikuliert, während Raheem Boateng weiter an der Universität Hamburg studieren darf.

Publisher’s rating: Nein. In beiden Fällen wurden die betreffenden Personen nicht exmatrikuliert, dürfen also weiter studieren.

The review says neither person was expelled and both remained enrolled. The HAW Hamburg decided not to initiate expulsion proceedings against the student in the Sylt video; the University of Hamburg student who helped organize an Islamist demonstration also remained enrolled.

Video shows Brazilian car riders killing motorcycle thugs by running them over with cars, as their government allowed such killings to control these robberies

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says Brazil has no law permitting people to kill motorcycle thieves; it describes killing as lawful only in cases of legitimate self-defense. It also identifies the viral montage as clips of separate robbery incidents in Brazil, rather than evidence of government authorization. [S1]
