DISINFO: New evidence that the chemical attack in Douma was a fake

SUMMARY

The Western politicians and the media are ignoring the obvious evidence that there was no chemical attack in Douma.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on chemical attack in Douma. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=douma&disinfo_issue=&date=, The story is illustrated with pictures that in fact were published in Global Times in 2016, and are behind-the-scenes pictures from a film with which a Syrian-born film-maker "wanted to attract the world’s attention to the real-life stories of the victims of the 2013 sarin gas attack." Further debunking by the Insider and TV Dozhd.
