Several Bangladeshi university teachers have alleged that their names were used without permission in a statement published online under the title 'Statement on Sheikh Hasina’s Verdict'. The report appeared on the website 'Bahanunews', claiming that 1,001 teachers rejected the International Crimes Tribunal’s death sentence against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ex-Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal. Fact-checking organization BanglaFact confirmed that some of the listed teachers denied giving consent for their inclusion. The tribunal had recently sentenced Hasina and Kamal to death for crimes against humanity following the July uprising that ousted her government. BanglaFact and other fact-checking bodies have also documented a sharp rise in misinformation and fake news about Bangladesh, allegedly spread from Indian media outlets and social networks. These organizations continue to monitor and counter misinformation to ensure accurate public understanding.
