> Exactly. And yet you write "He was repeatedly beaten by the police" ... "this will be easily proven".

To "prove" also means to "test", so especially with the "facts are not yet in" statement that you quote, it seems charitable to assume that "this will be easily proven" was intended to mean "this will be easily shown to be true or false".

Yes, this is indeed what I meant.

(Although, the fact that something is very easy to test also makes it less likely to be claimed falsely. I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't a recorded hospitalization.)
