There is an alleged letter that the French humanitarian activist Sophie Petronin wrote to President Emmanuel Macron, after she was converted to Islam and rescued from Mali. This fictional letter was posted on numerous Facebook accounts as well as on several news portals such as Faktor, Slobodna Bosna, Islam press, Bosna press, Preporod, Bošnjaci, Saff, Svjetlo dunjaluka, Info KS, Avaz, Sandzak live, FACE, Hayat, Religis, Novi Horizonti, INS, USK vijesti, Centralna, Balkan Sahar TV. Specifically, the wholly fabricated letter was published in local languages on 25 portals and 30 Facebook pages, with just under 8,000 interactions. The falsehood that Petronin sent a letter to the President of France was originally posted on Arab-language Facebook pages.
