Urgency: Context · Evidence: Attributed claim
SANA quotes Syrian Media Academy director Ibrahim al-Sharif on the conclusion of a campaign against misinformation and hate speech, conducted with the Information Ministry and UNDP. The academy links it to a six-month project it says delivered 35 training programmes for more than 775 participants. These are organiser-reported figures.
What the sources establish
The claimant is academy director Ibrahim al-Sharif, interviewed by SANA. The training figures concern the broader six-month project, rather than the month-long campaign alone. The reported UNDP partnership was not separately checked against a UNDP readout; no training register or independent assessment of skills, misinformation or hate-speech reduction was inspected. Social-view totals are omitted and are not treated as people reached. Time converts the explicit 15:45:16+03:00 publication to UTC and rounds to the minute, not the closing event’s hour.

31 Oct 2026 13:13 UTC — First published an attributed campaign-closeout report, distinguishing broader project counts from the campaign and omitting unaudited social reach and identifying locations.
