Is it true?: No, the video is a deepfake.

How did we find out the truth?: We ran a reverse image search on the video, which led us to a YouTube video featuring Doval in the same setting as the visuals in the claim, published in 19 March 2019.

• Since the video is from 2019, there is no possibility that Doval spoke about the CJP leaders' detention.

Is it AI?: We ran the video and audio tracks through AI-generated content detectors, such as Hive Moderation and Hiya's Deepfake Voice detector.

• Hive's tool gave the clip a 99.4 percent likelihood of carrying AI-generated audio.
