Ambassador Ahmet Üzümcü & @CSRisks, asking questions and not getting straight answers from the @opcw does not constitute an 'intense defamation campaign'. Let's ask some of the key questions again shall we:- @Tim_Hayward_
2) Why was the assessment of 4 NATO toxicologists, that the victims at Location 2 were not killed by chlorine gas, removed from the Final Report with all record of the NATO assessment removed? @2ndNewMoon
3) Why were inaccurate witness reports of Sarin nerve agent symptoms (which was never found) clearly reported in the original interim report (see here) but obfuscated in the final report & with 'constricted pupils' (a key indicator of Sarin) deleted?:- wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…
4) Why was confirmation that some victims had been re-positioned throughout the night of 7-8 April, clearly reported in the original interim report here, buried in the Annex of the Final Report?
6) Why was an engineering report, confirming the incompatibility between the damage on this cylinder and the hole in the roof, blocked from consideration?
8) Given all of these critical issues Ambassador (and @CSRisks), why do you not support an eminently reasonable request from leading experts & voices to allow *all* of the Douma FFM team to discuss the Douma Report and the science behind it? berlingroup21.org@aaronjmate

2) @NathalieLoiseau attempted this act of censorship in full knowledge of her own involvement with the French government when it decided to bomb Syria following the alleged attack in Douma:- thewallwillfall.org/2021/04/19/pro…
1) In fact UK journalist @ClarkeMicah first reported in 2019 the fact that the original interim report had been secretly doctored to suggest Syrian gov. guilt without the knowledge of the Douma inspectors:- hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-se…
2) The @couragefound in 2019, which heard testimony from an OPCW person, reported serious procedural and scientific irregularities relating to manipulation of chemistry, toxicology, ballistics and witness testimony:- couragefound.org/2019/10/opcw-p…
@CanadaOPCW Not only was the majority of the analytical work done before Whelan left, (compare the 106 page original interim report with the final report: wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc… with opcw.org/sites/default/…), any subsequent analysis added little to the original conclusions:-
1) the additional 13 samples analysed were not sufficient to alter the *original interim report* conclusion that there was no confirmation chlorine gas had been present (nor indeed that there was any evidence of nerve agent such as Sarin): berlingroup21.org/background@aaronjmate
2) But the *final report* did include an apparently fabricated claim that no bleach (a possible benign cause of some of the chemistry results) was ever reported by investigators at the scene. In truth, no such negative observation was ever recorded by the Douma inspection team.
1) OPCW staff have not advocated a 'false and misleading theory', they have reported serious procedural and scientic flaws w.r.t. the Douma investigation. 11 points detailed here: berlingroup21.org/background
2) These include secret attempts to modify the interim report and obfuscation of evidence. Starting with procedural irregularity 2, can @CanadaOPCW explain who attempted to publish a manipulated version of the interim report behind the back of the Douma team..
10) Equally significant was the failure to find any evidence of sarin nerve agent nor even conclusive proof that chlorine gas had been released at location 2 where the deceased were found, piled on top of one another:- berlingroup21.org/background
11) We now know that a toxicology assessment via NATO chemical weapons experts, erased from the final @opcw report, had concluded that the deceased were not poisoned by chlorine wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…
12) We also know from the leaked original interim report that witness testimony, again obfuscated in the final @opcw#Douma report, showed contradictory and contrasting claims about what had happened:- couragefound.org/2021/03/additi…
