The BBC has refused to comply with a demand from Georgian authorities to remove an investigation alleging the possible use of chemical agents against demonstrators in Tbilisi.
Georgian authorities plan to file a complaint with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the coming days over a recent investigation suggesting the possible use of chemical agents against protesters in late 2024, Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili told reporters on Thursday.
Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has rejected allegations that police used a prohibited chemical agent against protesters during the 2024 demonstrations in Tbilisi, calling the claims unfounded and unsupported by evidence.
