Georgia accused of using WWI-era chemical weapon to quell pro-EU protests in 2024

Georgian authorities are accused of using an obsolete chemical weapon, camite, to suppress 2024 anti-government protests. Protesters reported severe, long-lasting symptoms, including burning sensations, shortness of breath, and persistent coughing. Experts and evidence suggest the chemical used was bromobenzyl cyanide, inconsistent with typical riot control agents.
