هل كانت ستؤدّي خطة حسان دياب المالية إلى شطب أموال المودعين؟

Publisher’s rating: صحيح جزئياً

The review says the plan protected deposits of up to $500,000 and proposed a bail-in for some larger deposits, which could be converted into shares or long-term bonds. It concludes that this did not necessarily mean those deposits would be written off, while noting that the banking sector had not been restructured and losses had not been allocated.

Soch Fact CheckElections & voting

Pakistan's 2024 general elections were largely transparent, efficient and peaceful

Publisher’s rating: FALSE. Contrary to the Commonwealth Observer Group’s interim statement, Pakistan’s General Elections took place in a turbulent political and security environment, and were marred by various irregularities, especially in the process of counting and consolidating votes, and in the announcement of results. Official consolidated results were announced well after the legal deadline and were contradicted by publicly available polling station level data. Largely due to the glaring discrepancies between these data sets, the results of several hundred constituencies are currently being challenged before election tribunals that were constituted for the purpose of hearing complaints related to the election.

Fact Crescendo

बांगलादेशातील आणखी एका हिंदू शिक्षकाचा त्यांनी एकदा शिकवलेल्या मुस्लिम विद्यार्थ्यांनी अपमान केला आणि त्यांना राजीनामा देण्यास भाग पाडले. बांगलादेशात दररोज हजारो हिंदूंवर राजीनाम्याच्या पत्रांवर स्वाक्षरी करण्यासाठी दबाव आणला जात आहे.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review identifies the person in the video as municipal executive engineer Taufiq Islam, not a Hindu teacher. It reports that student protesters pressured him to resign after finding cigarette packets in his office drawer on 19 August, and that they poured water on him after he fainted. The video therefore does not substantiate the claim that Muslim students humiliated a Hindu teacher.

لحظة إنفجار ٣ سدود في ملحان بالمحويت

Publisher’s rating: غير صحيح جزئيا

The review says the video shows a landslide in Raymah in September 2018, not an event in Malhan, Mahwit. It reports that flooding in Malhan on the evening of August 27 caused damage and deaths.

FACTLYHealth & medicine

Photo shows the first case of Monkeypox in Singapore in 2024.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the viral photo shows a severe monkeypox case in Mexico from 11 October 2022, not a case in Singapore. It reports that Mexican infectious disease specialist José Hiram Hernández Jerónimo identified the photo as showing a patient with over 250 sores. The review also says Singapore had 13 confirmed cases in 2024 as of 22 August, all of the less severe Clade II type.
