Giorgi Gakharia: “Georgian Dream” fears investigation because it will reveal who ordered the use of chemical substances and how rubber bullets were used on June 20 bypassing the Minister and Deputy Minister
“The only remaining path is an international investigation,” wrote Giorgi Gakharia, leader of the party Gakharia for Georgia, on social media.
“As expected, Georgian Dream blocked the initiative by For Georgia to create a parliamentary investigative commission to examine the use of toxic chemical substances during the dispersal of peaceful protests, based on BBC reports.
Georgian Dream fears a public investigation because it would reveal who issued the order to use toxic chemical substances against peaceful demonstrators and inevitably lead to determining how it was possible to use rubber bullets on June 20 bypassing the Minister and Deputy Minister.
While the Georgian government claims to be satisfied with the results of a four-day ‘investigation,’ and Georgian Dream refuses to use parliamentary mechanisms to transparently establish the truth, the only remaining way to ascertain the facts is through an international investigation,” Gakharia wrote.
