UN investigation regarding use of chemical weapons has finished and they have released their finding to the public accusing Assad regime of using chemical weapons.
There was massive propaganda efforts by pro Syrian trolls and the Russian government funded news, sorry propaganda outlets to brand it as false flag. One pro Syrian news site even claimed that the OPEC/UN report suggests the attack was by Rebels. He was later fired for supporting rape and pedophilia.
Now that this report is out, I wonder how they will defend Assad? Oh, I know, they will lie about and lie about it until people start believing it. Lets proceed to the report:
Government forces have used chemical weapons more than two dozen times during Syria’s civil war, including in April’s deadly attack on Khan Sheikhoun, U.N. war crimes investigators said on Wednesday.
A government warplane dropped sarin on the town in Idlib province, killing more than 80 civilians, the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria said, in the most conclusive findings to date from investigations into that chemical weapon attack.
The panel also said U.S. air strikes on a mosque in Al-Jina in rural Aleppo in March that killed 38 people, including children, failed to take precautions in violation of international law, but did not constitute a war crime.
Or, maybe it's not war crime because it was by a security council member?
The weapons used on Khan Sheikhoun were previously identified as containing sarin, an odorless nerve agent. But that conclusion, reached by a fact-finding mission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), did not say who was responsible.
“Government forces continued the pattern of using chemical weapons against civilians in opposition-held areas. In the gravest incident, the Syrian air force used sarin in Khan Sheikhoun, Idlib, killing dozens, the majority of whom were women and children,” the U.N. report said, declaring the attack a war crime.
And #Syriahoax was trending after the attack mentioned above. Thanks to Paul Joseph Watson, Mike Cernovich (Yup he is the guy behind Pizzagate) and their not so smart but vigorously active twitter followers.
Commission chairman Paulo Pinheiro told a news conference: “Not having access did not prevent us from establishing facts or reasonable grounds to believe what happened during the attack and establishing who is responsible.”
Not having access
If Assad didn't do it, why does he have a problem with giving UN investigators access to the blast sites?
In their 14th report since 2011, U.N. investigators said they had in all documented 33 chemical weapons attacks to date.
Twenty-seven were by the government of President Bashar al-Assad, including seven between March 1 to July 7. Perpetrators had not been identified yet in six attacks, they said.
The Assad government has repeatedly denied using chemical weapons. It said its strikes in Khan Sheikhoun hit a weapons depot belonging to rebel forces, a claim “excluded” by Pinheiro.
Admitting the Attack would lead to his fall. He knows that very well. His well funded rich propagandists also understand this. Syria's war is more about Rich vs Poor than Shia vs Sunni. There are many rich sunni evil elites working for him and there are thousands of poor shias who are against him (because they are used by regime as soldiers while the ruling party elites live in mansions). 50 thousand Shia males live in fear of getting forcibly recruited to the military in Latakia, Assad's own hometown. But of course, the Shia vs Sunni narrative works well for him.
That attack led U.S. President Donald Trump to launch the first U.S. air strikes on a Syrian air base.
A separate joint inquiry by the United Nations and OPCW aims to report by October on who was to blame for Khan Sheikhoun.
The U.N. investigators interviewed 43 witnesses, victims, and first responders linked to the attack. Satellite imagery, photos of bomb remnants and early warning reports were used.
Yes, but the following video has even more evidence:
