The story disseminated by the British broadcaster also contains other false accusations directed against the state, which did not become the subject of public judgment and assessment only because the false accusation of the use of the so-called "camite" overshadowed all other issues, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated at the briefing held at the government administration.
According to him, during the period of "violent protests", from November 28, 2024 to January 28, 2025, a total of 5 people were taken to inpatient medical facilities with mild intoxication, who were discharged from the medical facility the next day.
"First the British broadcaster, and then specific interested parties and propaganda media outlets accused the Georgian government of using the chemical substance, which is one of the most severe toxic agents, which is accompanied by such severe side effects that, theoretically, if it were used, it would have an indelible effect on the health of the participants in the violent demonstration. Moreover, exposure to "camite" would, with a high degree of probability, have even led to a lethal outcome.
Against this background, there are no relevant victims in the case. None of the participants in the illegal demonstrations filed complaints with the medical institution regarding the possible exposure to the chemical substance. During the period of the violent demonstrations, from November 28, 2024 to January 28, 2025, a total of 5 people were taken to inpatient medical institutions with mild intoxication, who were discharged from the medical institution the next day.
The story prepared by the British broadcaster also contains other false accusations against the state, which did not become the subject of public judgment and assessment only because the false accusation regarding the use of the so-called "camite" overshadowed all other issues," the Prime Minister said.
