According to Dr. Konstantine Chakhunashvili, representatives of the State Security Service came to Tsitsishvili’s clinic to summon him for questioning.
As Chakhunashvili told InterpressNews, he is not going to accept the summon document, he is ready to answer questions from a magistrate judge.
Dr. Konstantine Chakhunashvili was one of the respondents in an investigative story prepared by the BBC, according to which the substance Camite was used to disperse protest rallies in November-December 2024.
“What the BBC relies on is mainly information provided by insiders. When they compared the inventory barcodes, it turned out that one of the substances was a chemical solvent, and the other substance could not be identified exactly, although the volatile substance that could have been used for the crackdown was Camite. Based on this, based on the total information, they came to this conclusion.
A group of doctors conducted several instrumental studies. These were capillaroscopy, electrocardiography, we collected cardiological data, a complete blood count and a study of the blood coagulation system. A statistically significant change was found in the electrocardiographic data. Specifically, these were changes that indicate a problem with the supply of oxygen to the heart and problems with the flow of oxygen to the lungs. Capillaroscopy showed changes in the study group, although there was no statistically significant change and we cannot say to what extent it may be related to the crackdown.
We collected these data and wrote a conclusion. We had no information about Camite and our hypothesis was based on the use of the CS gas.
347 people filled out the questionnaire, and 69 people came for the examination.
If they request raw information, we will provide it. As for the patient’s data, we cannot provide anything,” Konstantine Chakhunashvili told InterpressNews.
After the BBC’s journalistic investigation was published, the State Security Service launched an investigation under two articles: - Abuse of official authority and assistance to a foreign organization in hostile activities.
