Parliament has sent a second request to Nika Gvaramia to appear before the temporary investigative commission.

In a statement, the political party “Akhali” emphasized that their position remains unchanged and that at no stage do they intend to accept the "rules of the regime's game."

"Today, Ivanishvili's regime’s so-called parliament submitted a second request to political prisoner Nika Gvaramia at Rustavi’s No. 12 Penitentiary Facility to appear before the so-called investigative commission.

Our position is unchanged – at no stage do we intend to accept the regime’s rules of the game, grant it even the slightest legitimacy, or cooperate with the so-called commission, which in reality serves to betray national interests and rewrite history.

Consistency, principled stance, defiance, and non-cooperation – including non-participation in the farce referred to as elections – are the path to victory," the statement says, accompanied by a copy of the document.

As a reminder, on June 13, the leader of the “Coalition for Change,” Nika Gvaramia, was placed in pre-trial detention as a preventive measure. The Prosecutor’s Office filed a motion to replace the 30,000 GEL bail previously set for Gvaramia with imprisonment, which the court granted. Gvaramia did not attend the hearing but voluntarily reported to Rustavi No. 12 Penitentiary.

For context, Nika Gvaramia was summoned to testify before the Georgian Parliament’s temporary investigative commission, but he did not appear. As a result, he has been charged under Article 349 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which concerns "failure to comply with the request of the Parliament’s temporary investigative commission" and is punishable by a fine, up to one year of imprisonment, or disqualification from holding office or engaging in professional activities for up to three years.

A 50-day deadline was set for Nika Gvaramia to pay the 30,000 GEL bail, which expired on June 7.
