purportedly

In a post on social media, Governor Vorobyev published pictures purportedly showing one of the damaged apartments, and burnt vehicles in what looked like a car park in the Moscow region.

But those cancellations were purportedly aimed at stripping diversity, equality and inclusiveness elements out of state policies, not at forcing parents to register their newborns in person.

Open Society Foundations, where I direct work on drug policy, has long documented abuses in centers that purportedly provide drug treatment, but where the mainstay of “treatment” is in fact forced labor.

And a few students purportedly lied — falsely claiming they didn’t have a phone — but the vast majority complied.

These were, of course, the very distress of the people that the legislation was purportedly aimed at alleviating.
