As the @opcw's DG has chosen to again spread false information regarding whistleblower scientists from his own organisation, it is worth reminding why so many people, eminent and otherwise, are concerned about the Douma investigation @aaronjmate @PaulWalkerGG @ambLisaHelfand:-

1) It is now well known that the original interim report was secretly altered and then an attempt made to publish it. British journalist @ClarkeMicah reported on this in detail in 2019:- @DKWpublichealth @cwccoalition @GERMANYonUN @GermanyDiplo @jpzanders hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/11/new-se…

2) It is also now established that a toxicology assessment from NATO experts, which ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of 43 deaths at Location 2, was effectively deleted from the Final Report @DarylGKimball

3) The assessment made clear that the victims at Location 2 would not have dropped dead on the spot, whilst foaming at the mouth, due to chlorine gas. wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…

4) It is also understand my many that the Final Report provides no substantive/detailed evidence to explain how this cylinder caused this damage at Location 2. Take the time to look at these photos and have a think.

5) Nor did the Final Report provide any coherent explanation of how the cylinder at Location 4 magically bounced across a bedroom.

6) The Final Report did, however, offer an *incoherent* explanation based upon a flawed graph and which failed to explain how the cylinder altered course. Again, think about this and perhaps have a chat with an engineer or a scientist.

7) These matters only scratch the surface w.r.t. multiple issues concerning the Douma investigation all of which point toward manipulation and fraud and explain why so many are calling for accountability and transparency. See here for other key issues:- berlingroup21.org/background

8) And, as will soon become clear, the OPCW final report also censored critical evidence regarding the manipulation of the deceased at location two, the burial of up to 250 more civilians in a mass grave, and evidence regarding who buried the victims.

9) Given these facts, all of which are available for the public to read and consider, the request that the @opcw now enable a transparent and genuine attempt to allow *all* the Douma investigators to review the scientific evidence is an eminently reasonable one. @Tim_Hayward_

10) And yet your responses to date have involved dismissing legitimate concerns and instead smearing those asking questions. You embarrass yourselves with such conduct whilst doing nothing to find out how 43-300 civilians were killed and then buried in a mass grave. @Tim_Hayward_

11) You should be ashamed of yourselves. Perhaps now is the time to start answering the questions that have been addressed to the OPCW and listening to your own scientists @PaulWalkerGG @JPZanders @DKWpublichealth @cwccoalition @GERMANYonUN @GermanyDiplo @AnnLinde @DarylGKimball
