Unverifiable

For example, one is convicted of rape only 15 times more often if one comes from Palestine.

Omissions

• No primary source was cited by the MEP to support the specific '15 times' figure
• The claim does not specify the time period for which this statistic applies
• The methodology for calculating this ratio is unclear (whether it accounts for age, gender, or other demographic factors)
• The distinction between 'convicted of rape' vs 'charged with rape' vs 'reported rape' is not clarified
• The legal definition of rape in Denmark changed in 2021 with new consent laws, which affects comparability across time periods
