#Georgia: Almost 400 incidents of violence, intimidation & harassment with journalists’ work have been recorded over the past year, but no perpetrators have been held accountable. Critical journalism persists in Georgia despite the hostile environment.

"Water from the water cannons around the parliament, December 1, 2024." - Hungarian journalist Robert Laszlo posts a video shot 1 year ago.

Another proof that Ivanishvili's regime was poisoning the Georgian people.

This is horrible and it shows the true face of GD. They aren't a democratically elected government. They are appointed occupation authorities who have one goal: to give the full control over Georgia to Russia. The use of chemical weapons against peaceful protesters is a crime against humanity.

WW1 toxic compound sprayed on Georgian protesters, BBC evidence suggests Anti-government demonstrators are likely to have been targeted with camite, our investigation finds.

"…Camite was deployed by France against Germany during World War One. There is little documentation of its subsequent use, but it is believed to have been taken out of circulation at some point in the 1930s, because of concerns about its long-lasting effects..."

Camite (bromobenzyl cyanide) was first used in WWI but its use was discontinued in the 1930s due, in part, to its persistent toxicity. It's now back in use in Georgia.

Footage has emerged showing the aftermath of the attack on the Russian tanker Midvolga 2 in the Black Sea.

According to media reports, the vessel was traveling from Russia to Georgia, allegedly carrying sunflower oil. It is now moving toward the Turkish city of Sinop.

The State Security Service has summoned Dr. Konstantine Chakhunashvili for questioning. His research appears in the BBC investigation.

“They are now coming to deliver the notice at the Tsitsishvili Clinic. I requested to be questioned before a judge,” writes Chakhunashvili.

The regime in Georgia has begun to go after those who shared testimonies regarding their deteriorated health and the effects of the bromobenzyl cyanide used against protesters.

Our Droa paty member Tata Khundadze was summoned by the State Security for interrogation.

Géorgie 🇬🇪

Les autorités Géorgiennes utilisent du "camite", gaz toxique utilisé durant la 1ère Guerre Mondiale, pour repousser les manifestants pro-démocraties. Les composants du gaz sont introduits dans les canons à eau pour asperger les foules.

JUST IN: Constantine Chakhunashvili has been summoned for interrogation at the State Security Service.

He is the doctor responsible for the study on the symptoms experienced by Georgian protesters - the study that eventually led to the evidence on the use of bromobenzyl cyanide.

As the fate of the MEGOBARI Act remains uncertain, much will depend on developments in Congress over the coming weeks, including whether the bill’s proponents will manage to attach it to so-called “must-pass” legislation. Read our backgrounder:

Georgia’s SSS has now summoned pediatric doctor Konstantine Chakhunashvili for interrogation—one of the experts featured in the BBC’s investigation.

Konstantine co-authored a scientific study on the health impacts of the December 2024 crackdowns, which we now know involved a WW1-era chemical agent.

Just in: Georgia’s Ministry of Education will write all school textbooks using hired experts — and every school will be required to teach exclusively from these state-produced books.

Hague is awaiting - says the sign.
This is the day 3️⃣6️⃣9️⃣, when the world learnt that Georgian protestors were poisoned by Camite, which has been prohibited to use internationally since 1930s, because of concerns about its long-lasting effects according to @BBC

WW1 toxic compound sprayed on Georgian protesters, BBC evidence suggests Anti-government demonstrators are likely to have been targeted with camite, our investigation finds.

According to the BBC, the Georgian government was using a World War I-era toxic compound to disperse Georgian demonstrators who were standing for Georgia's sovereignty and the European future.

GD seems terrified about #BBC report on using WW1 chemical agent in #Tbilisi during protests -- as shown by spending $600+ on advertising their version of events, compared with less than $100 on their other messages.

To them it's the single most important issue in #Georgia right now.
