Unmasking Misinformation: Journalist’s Quest for Verified Truth (International Edition)

The Journalists as Fact Checkers workshop, organised by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Africa for the Womentorship Champions, recently, was an unexpected catalyst for my growth as a female human rights defender. It effortlessly merged with my duties as both a journalist and an advocate, highlighting how journalism serves as a crucial act of service against misinformation. In Zimbabwe, where confirming straightforward facts such as fatality counts from road accidents can be difficult because of restricted access to data, fact-checking goes beyond being just part of one’s job; it transforms into a nuanced but important mode of defiance.

Alizeh Shah Speaks Out: Plastic Surgery Rumors Debunked

Pakistan, May 23 -- Pakistani actress Alizeh Shah has finally spoken out following the rumors circulating on social media regarding her cosmetic procedures.

Once more, the actress found herself at the center of discussions due to alterations in her appearance, continuing to draw attention with her evolving style and active presence on social media.

Multiple individuals on social networking sites alleged that Alizeh Shah had received plastic surgery, which prompted the Pakistani actress to respond with both subtlety and firmness.

A video circulating on social media features the actor refuting whispers about cosmetic procedures, explaining that her appearance has evolved gradually over time.

“Please, for heaven’s sake! I assure you I’ve had no plastic surgery; please let me be. The reason I appear changed is simply due to losing weight. At the time of filming Ehd e Wafa, I was only seventeen years old. Those present at the shoot know very well that my mother signed the contract since I didn’t possess an identification card,” she stated in the video.

Alizeh Shah commented, "What makes anyone think someone could remain unchanged over six years? At my age of 23, how would it be possible for me to still appear as young as 17?"

On multiple instances, the Pakistani actor has asked social and mainstream media outlets for some breathing room due to criticisms surrounding her personal decisions. Earlier this year, in April, Alizeh Shah stated that relentless harassment had a significant impact on both her physical well-being and mental health.

In an extended post on her Instagram Stories, Shah wrote, "The relentless harassment, ongoing criticism, and all the negative energy have taken a toll on me emotionally, and they're now impacting my physical well-being. There came a moment when I felt compelled to withdraw entirely—not only from social media but also from everybody surrounding me."
