Pages on social media circulated a report claiming that a decision had been issued to dismiss MP Mudar Hamdan from the People's Assembly over past positions described as supportive of the deposed regime.
The fact-checking team carried out a field inquiry based on direct contact with two sources in the People's Assembly, who confirmed that no final decision on the MP has been issued so far, and that the only step taken was referring his file to the competent committee for further review. The team also contacted two sources on the committee tasked with the case, who confirmed that Mudar Hamdan is not currently attending Assembly sessions pending the final decision, denying the reports of his dismissal.
Why is this claim misleading?
Expanding the scope of the decision: A limited administrative step confined to referring the MP's file to the competent committee was turned into an alleged final dismissal decision, inflating a matter still under review and presenting it as a final ruling that was never issued.
