The headline does not clarify which state's police reported the escape of a prisoner from prison.

FATBARDH DEMA

The information portal "ntv.al" has published an article titled "Caution! Police sound the alarm: Dangerous murderer has escaped from prison."

After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title of the article is a generalization that does not clarify which country's police made this call.

The news is clarified in the content, which states "Authorities in Pennsylvania, USA have raised the alarm after a 34-year-old murderer serving a life sentence escaped from his cell."

Knowing that this portal has most of the readers on its Facebook page are Albanian-speaking (here), the title in question may misinform readers that the police call was made from Albanian-speaking countries.
