Misbarâs Analysis
MENA: We conducted a reverse image search of the photo and discovered that the original photo was published by The Khaama Press immediately following the event.
In the original photo, the burqa-clad person's face is completely covered. Although it is possible that a man is underneath the burqa, the image depicting so was digitally manipulated.
