Spain Prime Minister Faces False Five-Year Prison Claim
In March 2026 fact-checkers found claims that Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced five-year prison terms for insulting the Prophet Muhammad or Islam are false. No credible reports or amendments to Spain’s Código Penal support such an announcement, and the circulated photo of Sánchez holding a Quran was identified as AI-edited. Existing Article 510 penalizes hate speech but does not impose five-year terms for religious insults.
