Idrees Ahmad | idreesahmad.bsky.social on X: “@aaronjmate And thus you proved my point. In your conspiracy theory—i.e. in the regime and Russia’s conspiracy theory—these were crisis actors participating in “staged” scenes. Ruptly got their personal details, and you were going to dox them. What do you think the regime was going to do?” / X (twitter.com)

Idrees Ahmad | idreesahmad.bsky.social on X: “This is quite an admission. @thenation published a disinformation piece attacking the @OPCW by this Grayzone blogger. He is now confessing that he’s the Aaron mentioned by a Russian journalist who was going to be used to dox survivors and witnesses of the 2018 Douma massacre.” / X (twitter.com)
Idrees Ahmad | idreesahmad.bsky.social on X: “Just so it isn’t clear: these are survivors and witnesses who are still in Damascus. Being doxxed could be potentially deadly for them. The Ruptly reporter Stephen Mangan was proposing to leak their detail to “Aaron”. And now @aaronjmate has confirmed he’s the Aaron in question.” / X (twitter.com)
