@UKPolDirRichard @nsoames The problem is that the OPCW Syria FFMs are procedurally and scientifically flawed, as indicated by this senior OPCW official.
1) For example, the Final OPCW FFM report on Douma obfuscated the clear evidence provided by 4 NATO toxicologists that the deceased at Douma could not have been killed by chlorine gas at Location 2.
2) @RobertF40396660, then Chief of Cabinet at the OPCW, allowed a US delegation to present their analysis to the OPCW FFM team: this represents undue pressure on the FFM team and is a breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention. @steelejourno article here:- counterpunch.org/2019/11/15/the…
3) The Original Interim report, as @ClarkeMicah describes in this article, was secretly redacted without the knowledge of the FFM team and only discovered by accident. Material questioning whether an attack had occurred at Douma had been deleted. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
4) Most importantly, the final OPCW report failed to resolve substantive issues regarding toxicology, ballistics, chemistry and witness testimony. The @couragefound heard from an OPCW official and the issues are documented here: couragefound.org/2019/10/analyt…
5) Those endorsing the concerns raised at the Courage Foundation panel including Jose Bustani, the first Director General of the @OPCW.
6) In short, multiple scientific and procedural flaws. A fuller explication can be read here and here timhayward.wordpress.com/2020/02/01/hou…
7) And a recent summary of the story so far by @aaronjmate can be read here thenation.com/article/world/…
8) A detailed report on the OPCW FFM will be published in the near future. For now, it is untenable for representatives of the UK government to continue to refuse to address these concerns and obfuscate the truth behind how these civilians were killed.
