The case was probably launched in order to show the international community that they are supposedly investigating, but on the other hand, the problem is that they are summoning us to intimidate us, - said doctor Konstantine Chakhunashvili before his questioning before a magistrate judge in the City Court.
Konstantine Chakhunashvili is one of the respondents in the BBC film who was summoned for questioning at the State Security Service, but he refused to go there. He will now be questioned before a magistrate judge in the Tbilisi City Court.
According to him, the State Security Service has also summoned his brother, doctor Davit Chakhunashvili, for questioning, and he will also be questioned before a magistrate judge tomorrow morning.
"I don't have any expectations, I'll go in now and find out myself, if they don't make me sign a non-disclosure agreement, we'll find out the details later.
Presumably, there are also questions about the research, and we'll see. Many people were summoned, but in this case, what is interesting to us is that a fight is being waged against academic freedom, which is unacceptable and should be unacceptable to everyone.
The case was probably launched in order to show the international community and Georgian people that they are investigating, but on the other hand, the problem is that they are summoning people to intimidate us.
I don't know how much I am connected to the international media, I was probably summoned more in connection with the research.
Davit (Chakhunashvili) is summoned tomorrow for 10 am," said Konstantine Chakhunashvili.
