Dec 23, 2024, 05:57 PM
Two Syrian doctors and a nurse have reported that they were coerced by the government of President Bashar al-Assad to provide false testimony regarding a deadly chlorine attack in Douma in 2018. The medical professionals stated that they faced pressure to deny the use of chemical weapons during investigations by international authorities. This revelation comes after a chlorine attack in Douma that resulted in numerous casualties, which has been previously confirmed by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as a chemical assault. The medics' accounts highlight ongoing concerns about the Syrian regime's actions and the treatment of witnesses in such investigations.
