☆ Fact Check: Graphic video of girl burned by mob is from Guatemala, not Israel
  + stars: | 2023-10-13 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
(Editor’s note: Contains links directing to graphic imagery in paragraphs two and four)A 2015 video of the lynching of a 16-year-old girl in Guatemala has been misrepresented online as showing a young Israeli woman being burnt by a “Palestinian mob” amid the ongoing war between the militant Islamist group Hamas and Israel. They burned alive a 14 year old girl that captures in Israel.” A screenshot of the clip was also posted on Facebook. However, Reuters traced the video to news reports of a 2015 incident where a Guatemalan teenager was lynched after being accused of being a part of a group that killed a taxi driver. Guatemalan newspaper Prensa Libre reported that the incident took place on May 12, 2015, in Río Bravo, Guatemala. The video of the young woman being tortured is from Guatemala and dates to 2015.

☆ Guatemalan ex-first lady Torres polls first in crowded field ahead of Sunday vote

GUATEMALA CITY, June 22 (Reuters) - Former Guatemalan first lady Sandra Torres leads her competitors in the Central American country's presidential race, according to a poll published Thursday by newspaper Prensa Libre, the last before Sunday's election. Diplomat Edmond Mulet trailed Torres with 13.4% support, followed by Zury Rios, the daughter of former dictator Efrain Rios Montt, at 9.1%. Torres, a well-known but polarizing figure, finished first in the first round of Guatemala's 2019 election, but lost to current President Alejandro Giammattei in a runoff. If no candidate earns 50% of the vote on Sunday, the top two will compete in a runoff on Aug. 20.

Протестующие против сокращения расходов бюджета на социальную сферу (образование, здравоохранение, борьба с нарушением прав человека) в Гватемале бросили бутылки с зажигательной смесью в здание Конгресса, после чего начался пожар. Об этом сообщило издание Prensa Libre, передает РБК. В этот момент протестующие начали забрасывать Конгресс камнями, из-за чего некоторые люди получили травмы и им понадобилась медицинская помощь. После этого президент страны Алехандро Джамматтеи призвал протестующих отстаивать свою гражданскую позицию мирным путем. Глава государства подчеркнул, что всех причастных к погромам ждет наказание в соответствии с действующим законодательством.

☆ Fact Check-Video of police in Guatemalan hospital dates from 2017 and is not linked to Ovidio Guzman’s arrest
  + stars: | 2017-01-10 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Examples of the 22-second clip in which people can be heard shouting in Spanish can be found on Instagram (here), Twitter (here) (here) and Facebook (here ). Mexican security forces captured Guzman on Jan. 5, triggering a wave of violence in the city of Culiacan in the northern Sinaloa state, Reuters reported (here). A longer and higher quality version of the video has been available online since at least Aug. 16, 2017, when it was posted by Guatemalan outlet Prensa Libre on YouTube (here). Based on the description of the YouTube video and the superimposed text in the clip, the footage shows security forces in Hospital Roosevelt, located in Guatemala City. This video was recorded in Guatemala City in August 2017, not after the arrest of cartel leader Ovidio Guzman on Jan. 5, 2023.
