A post that spread rapidly on social media has caused alarm, as it claimed that nine students had lost contact with their families after the protest held last night near the Ministry of Education.
The post was accompanied by photos of the young people, claiming that they were missing and had turned off their mobile phones. The information raised concerns about their fate, prompting reactions online.
But as the photos continued to circulate, an official response has come out that refutes the claims about the students' disappearance. The Media and Information Agency has clarified that all nine young people are safe and well and that the news that is circulating is completely false.
"Regarding these photographs circulating on social networks, we clarify that the students shown in them have personally confirmed to their University that they are healthy and well and that this news is completely false!", the reaction states.
According to MIA, the students themselves have expressed concern about the publication of their photos and the alarm caused among their families.
"The students themselves have expressed concern about the publication and dissemination of these photographs, which have caused unnecessary alarm and concern among their families," the statement continues.
