Sodium azide found use as the active ingredient in auto air bags
In October 2021, the Chairman of CLW, Jos Van Wijk, was arrested (and later released), suspected of assisted suicide offences and participation in a criminal organisation (CLW).
This police action followed the discovery that a 28-year old member of the group (now known as Alex from Eindhoven) had been selling Azide over the Internet and could be responsible for over 30 deaths. These investigations are on-going.

Chabot, in particular, has resorted to embellishing the truth in the course of his crusade. See Exit’s August 2021 Podcast and the November 2021 Blog. Both on www.peacefulpill.com
