Nona Kurdovanidze on the SSS statement: Measuring the scale of intoxication based on the data released yesterday is incomplete – these figures do not include patients who went to medical facilities on their own, and it is unknown how many such cases there are.
Measuring the scale of intoxication based on the data released yesterday is incomplete, writes Nona Kurdovanidze, head of the Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association, in a social media post, responding to the information the State Security Service (SSS) released yesterday, which stated that among 54 people taken to inpatient medical facilities by emergency medical brigades in the days following November 28, five showed signs of mild intoxication.
According to Kurdovanidze, these figures do not include patients who arrived at medical facilities on their own, and the number of such individuals is currently unknown.
“Measuring the scale of intoxication based on the data released yesterday is incomplete. According to the SSS, based on information from the Ministry of Health, out of the 54 people taken to inpatient facilities by medical brigades, five were diagnosed with mild intoxication.
An interesting detail is that these data do not include patients who arrived at medical facilities on their own. It is currently unknown how many such individuals there are,” writes Nona Kurdovanidze, and shares a photo which, according to her, was provided to GYLA by the Ministry of Health.
According to Kurdovanidze, in the response sent to GYLA by the Ministry of Health in February, “another interesting detail is that the total number of injured persons taken to clinics is much higher than 54.”
To remind you, yesterday the SSS released information stating that during the night of December 4–5, for crowd control, the substance “chlorobenzylidene malononitrile” was used, dissolved in “propylene glycol,” and that neither substance falls under the prohibited category, while “Camite” has never been purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for the number of injured, according to the SSS, based on documents obtained from the Ministry of Health in the days following November 28, 2024, among the 54 people taken to inpatient medical facilities by emergency medical brigades, five showed signs of mild intoxication, and all five were discharged the following day.
“The investigation also established that in early December 2024, specifically during the night of December 4–5, the substance ‘chlorobenzylidene malononitrile’ was used for mass control, dissolved in ‘propylene glycol.’ Neither of these substances belongs to the category of prohibited substances,” the SSS states.
