DISINFO: US biological lab conducting deadly experiments on Georgian population
SUMMARY
Experiments on people in Georgia. What is happening at Lugar Lab? Dangerous experiments are being carried out at the lab upon the US government’s instructions, while the Georgian government does not listen to its own population and only fulfils the US directives.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on Lugar Lab. The video offers the remarks by three Georgian respondents, portraying their opinions about the Lugar Lab as “the Georgian population’s” position. Among them is Moscow-based political analyst Alexander Chachia, Georgia’s ex-security chief in 2001-2004, famous for his anti-US stance, Valerian Khaburdzania and Moscow-based businessman Vladimir Khomeriki.

The Lugar centre is a top-tiered institution in NCDC’s laboratory network and serves as a reference laboratory for Georgia’s public health system. Under no circumstances has this laboratory been designed or redesigned to build biological weapons.
