The image is an AI generated one. The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has not expressed support for the CJP.

An image which purportedly shows a notice, allegedly issued by the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, is being widely shared on social media, to claim that they expressed solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and their protests.

• News organisations NewsX and Republic also shared this image with the claim.

Is it true?: No, there is no evidence of the Jamaat-e-Islami expressing support for the protests. The image is an AI-generated one.

How did we find out the truth?: In the document itself, we noticed that Bangladesh had been spelled as "Bangladeshe" in the header, and that the text in the body was distorted all over, with one word being more significantly distorted.

The letter is riddled with errors.

• Next, we checked the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's social media pages and website, but did not find any such letter or expression of solidarity in any of these places.

• However, noticed that the logo that the party uses on its pages or during events did not match the graphic in the letterhead of the image in the claim.

The logo in the image does not match the Jamaat's emblem or logo.

A keyword search also did not yield any credible reports about the party announcing its support for the CJP or the protesters.

Is it AI?: Since there was no credible evidence of the letter being authentic, we ran it through SightEngine and Hive Moderation's AI-generated image detection tools.

• SightEngine showed a 99 percent certainty of the image being an AI-generated one.

The tool was confident about the image being an AI-generated one.

• Hive Moderation, too, showed a 99.4 percent likelihood of the image being an AI-generated one.

Hive Moderation's tool also said that the image was an AI-generated one, noting that it may have been made using xAI's Grok.

Conclusion: An AI-generated image is being shared to falsely claim that the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami extended their support to the CJP's protests.
