Deze foto toont vier aan elkaar geketende islamitische vrouwen.

Publisher’s rating: Nee, want de foto is bewerkt. De ketens zijn achteraf toegevoegd. Dat bevestigt de fotograaf van de foto, Murat Düzyol.

The review says the chains were added to the photograph, citing photographer Murat Düzyol, who confirmed the women were unchained in his original image. It notes that the photograph shows three women, not four as stated in the claim.

dpaClimate & environment

Il existe actuellement 29 volcans qui rejettent 120 000 tonnes de CO₂ par jour dans l'atmosphère, mais les pets de vaches changent le climat ?

Publisher’s rating: Sur base annuelle, les émissions de CO2 causées par les activités humaines (dont l'agriculture) sont environ 100 fois supérieures à celles des volcans. L'impact des émissions volcaniques sur le climat est en outre de courte durée.

The claim misleadingly compares volcanic CO₂ emissions with emissions from human activities, including agriculture. The review says human-caused emissions are about 100 times greater annually, and volcanic effects on climate are short-lived.

සමගි ජන සන්ධානයේ ආරම්භක රැළියේ දී “රට බංකොලොත් කිරීමේ ගමනේ පළමු පියවර මෙයයි” යනුවෙන් සජිත් ප්‍රේමදාස කීවාද?

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the viral video was edited to combine two separate parts of Sajith Premadasa’s speech, making it appear that he said the alliance was the first step toward making the country more bankrupt. It reports that he actually described the launch as the first step in a journey to rebuild the country and later promised to change the political system that had led to bankruptcy.
