Fake experts drive disinformation before Bangladesh polls
Quick Glance: False Experts Disseminate Misinformation Ahead of Bangladesh Elections
  • An investigation by AFP reveals that numerous articles, supposedly authored by independent experts, have been published in national and international media. These authors possess questionable qualifications, fake photos, and may not even be real.

  • The articles primarily promote narratives that are advantageous to the current government of Bangladesh.

  • AFP analyzed over 700 articles published across at least 60 domestic and international news platforms. These articles were attributed to 35 different authors, all of whom made their first online appearance last year.

  • Newspaper editors printed the articles in good faith, having verified the authors' academic backgrounds and observed their previous publications.
