Mass protests over Sri Lanka's worst economic crisis in decades have escalated this past week after crowds breached official buildings.
But while protesters did in fact force their way into the Sri Lankan presidential residence and break into the prime minister's office in Colombo, misleading claims of other break-ins spiralled on social media.
We've looked at a viral claim that the island's national broadcaster had been "taken over", as well as a video alleging that protesters had broken through to Sri Lanka's Central Bank.
On Wednesday, major global media outlets mistakenly reported that Sri Lanka's national broadcaster Rupavahini was taken over by protesters.
Fake news is a global issue, and Sri Lanka has also been affected by it in various forms. Here are some examples of fake news or misinformation that have circulated in Sri Lanka:
1. Anti-Muslim Misinformation
(2018)During the communal unrest in 2018, false claims spread through social media, suggesting that Muslim restaurants were serving food laced with chemicals to sterilize Sinhalese people. These rumors fueled ethnic tensions and led to violence in some parts of the country. There was no evidence to support these claims, but the rumors caused significant harm.
2. Easter Sunday Attacks
(2019)After the 2019 Easter bombings, several conspiracy theories and false reports circulated. One such claim falsely linked certain politicians to the attackers or suggested foreign governments were involved in orchestrating the attacks. These baseless allegations spread widely, causing further panic and mistrust among communities.
3. COVID-19 Misinformation (2020-2021) During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sri Lanka saw a surge in fake news related to the virus. Claims like certain herbal remedies could cure COVID-19 or that vaccines were dangerous were shared on social media. Some people even falsely claimed that the virus didn’t exist or that the government was inflating case numbers. This misinformation impacted public health efforts and caused confusion.
