CR Gas

Long Kesh, October 16, 1974

Over the past few months Ceartais have uncovered titbits of information relating to Long Kesh Prisoners being exposed to CR Gas on October 16, 1974. Which once again points to a cover-up by the British government and it's armed forces.......

Policy on use of CR gas following Himsworth Committee reports; use in HM Prison Maze for riot control.

Trials of CR gas in Hong Kong throughout (1973)

Operation PAGODA; use of CR gas (dibenzoxazepine)

CR gas and the Geneva Protocol (1973)

CR gas; chemical agent for use in riot control

Ceartais will continue to lobby for the full disclosure until the British government publicly admit using the deadly gas on POWs'.
