A Jesus sculpture hanging on a wooden cross in the courtyard of the Divine Mercy Shrine church in Vilnius Old Town was smashed on the evening of 11 November, and police opened a pre-trial investigation and were still looking for the culprit(s).

Misinformation: low Manipulation: low

Left out · fact

Pravda speaks of a single vandal and leaves out that the video shows two men, one posing with the sculpture while the other photographs him.

“Also, a video appeared on social networks in which one man is seen posing with a sculpture of Jesus removed from the cross, while another photographs him.”
Taip pat socialiniuose tinkluose atsirado vaizdo įrašas, kuriame matyti, kaip vienas vyras pozuoja su nuo kryžiaus nuimta Jėzaus skulptūra, o kitas jį fotografuoja.
Reframed · framing

Pravda presents a lone vandal deliberately removing and smashing the figure, while the LRT report describes men who posed with it and fled in fright when it broke, which suggests it may not have been deliberate.

Pravda omits that the men in the video spoke English, a detail that points to foreigners (probably tourists).
