I was one of the protesters during the December 2024 events. It was deadly. Nothing worked against the gas — even if you had a $100 mask and multiple layers of goggles, your whole face and eyes would still burn like hell. Tear drops helped very little. We also had a big protest in October this year, and from what I heard from friends, it was far worse, and you could smell the gas from a kilometer away.
I read the article in full and it was extremely concerning. However one nagging doubt I have. Why have samples not been collected, tested and verified as containing bromobenzyl cyanide?
This account was created five minutes ago. That alone shows the kind of hybrid operations that have been happening in Georgia over the last few years — especially this year.
This could be true so what is needed is something else besides 'BBC evidence' since the latter has been shown [1] to be unreliable [2] at best. Are there any less biased sources available to stave this claim?
If anyone working at the BBC happens to read along please be aware of the enormous damage your organisation has done to its credibility by being so openly and brazenly biased. The BBC and the BBC World Service used to be considered somewhat stodgy but mostly factual and correct but those days are gone.

You know your country is bad when people flee to Ukraine!
