Corrections

2023

• November 21, 2023, the fact-check that assessed the claim that Israel admitted that Apache helicopters fired upon their civilians at the Supernova music festival was withdrawn after an editorial review. The story was originally published on November 14, 2023.

• August 17, 2023, There are many documents proving Nazi Germany had an extermination policy during WWII
  This fact-check was amended on 18 August 2023 to rectify that “officials attempted to document as little as possible”, as we stated originally, and to reflect that the Nazis destroyed large amounts of evidence throughout the war and not only at the end.
• June 26, 2023, Indian minister canceling meeting with U.S. lawmakers in 2019 shared as recent news
  The fact-check was amended as an earlier version erroneously mentioned that the external affairs minister did not accompany Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the U.S. on his first State visit. 

2022

• November 15, 2022, False: Iran issues mass execution of over 15,000 protesters detained amid anti-Hijab protests.
  This fact-check was amended to reflect the corrections made to Newsweek's article dated November 8, 2022, which formed the basis of the claim that 15,000 people were being sentenced to death in Iran. 
• October 31, 2022, People jumped and violently shook the Morbi bridge in Gujarat shortly before it collapsed.
  This fact-check was amended to correct a previous assertion that the video in question matches an old video from 2018. While it can be reasonably concluded that the video is not from the day of the bridge collapse, its exact date cannot be conclusively ascertained. However, the claims regarding the viral video, made during programmes broadcast on TV channels on October 30 and in social media posts, remain false.
• October 21, 2022, A Muslim man destroyed an old Hindu temple in Andhra Pradesh.
  This fact-check was amended to better explain the context for citing a statement by a political leader, as it showed there was widespread understanding that the claim in question was false.
• October 11, 2022, Misleading: August 2022 saw the highest mortality rate in England in 15 years, with a greater percentage of excess deaths in younger adults
  This fact-check was retracted due to attributing statements to a person who hadn't made them.
• October 7, 2022, False: Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 has released an infographic listing restriction on alcohol, loud music, and profanity. 
  This fact-check was amended to reflect the fact that people who had shared the flyer in question did not suggest it was an official FIFA release, but an official Qatari release.
• September 30, 2022, False: Rahul Gandhi threatened to kick Hindus out of India
  This fact-check was amended to change the judgement from Misleading to False. The post was incorrectly labeled as Misleading due to an error.
• September 8, 2022, False: The U.S. has developed a drone to spread infected insects in the air.
  A previous version of this check indicated that the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that the Pentagon had developed the device in question, and that the Teller Report, rather than RT, was the source of the information. This was amended to more accurately reflect the source of the claim, and additional changes to the references refuting the claim were also made for accuracy.
