Thread by @Vorkoz

Board member of @amnestyfinland has made a thread accusing @amnesty of underreporting human rights abuses by the ukrainian armed forces etc. Recommends pro-russian disinfo site Grayzone as a source for this.

Amongst other Grayzone article accuses ukrainian government amongst other things of the summary execution of mayor of Gostomel Yuri Prylipko when in fact Guardian reports Prylipko was shot by the russian invaders while distributing food to ukrainians. theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…

How long is @amnesty @amnestyfinland @KreaseChan @AgnesCallamard @FrankAmnesty going to allow this disinformation being used to smear ukrainians by someone affiliated with your organization? Not to mention his earlier promotion of denialist material re: war crimes in Syria.

Since this blew up I'd add some more evidence of earlier sharing of Grayzone BS, there is for example this article spreading falsehoods about the so-called Caesar Files

and some examples of Grayzone BS about the OPCW investigations into chemical weapon attacks in Syria

I would now also add this thread by someone showing some things that Grayzone author has specifically written about Finland

There are also many other tweets mentioning Finland in similar vein from that Grayzone author

Some 'best pieces' in case she decides to delete her takes.

iltalehti.fi/kotimaa/a/c3e4… This article does not cover even half the scandal, @iltalehti_fi should do better.

Putler's little henchmen are now directing their anger at those who have discussed pro-Russian disinfo site Grayzone being recommended by an
@amnestyfinland board member. Even a russian diplomat has joined in the troll crowd, I wonder what that could signify?

Btw I consider it a personal achievement and a point of pride that something as lowly as a russian diplomat who has spread anti-Ukraine hate and ridiculous conspiracy theories about 'biolabs' to justify an invasion has taken a moment of his time to attack me.
