The claim was supported by Medhat Eissa, an activist in the coastal city of Suez, who provided documents he says he obtained from a group of employees at the Suez Canal customs. The employees have been subjected to questioning for their refusal to allow an initial seven ton shipment of the US-made tear gas canisters enter the port.

A group of employees at the Adabiya Seaport in Suez have confirmed, with the documents to prove it, that a three-stage shipment of in total 21 tons of tear gas canisters is on course for the port from the American port of Wilmington.

Employees say the container ship Danica, carrying seven tons of tear-gas canisters made by the American company Combined Systems, has already arrived at the port, with two similar shipments from the same company expected to arrive within the week.

Recall: The Chemical Weapons Convention made it illegal to use riot control weapons like tear gas, pepper spray, etc., during warfare but since the United States was worried they wouldn’t be allowed to execute people via lethal injection, they pushed to have the CWC not apply domestically. In other words, tear gas cannot be used on “enemy” combatants in a war but it may be used on one’s own civilian population. These are weapons specifically sold to foreign governments to control their civilian populations.

fuck this world.
