Tina Bokuchava, chairwoman of “Unity National Movement,” announced that she has been summoned for questioning.

I kindly ask everyone not to deny this version if possible, as it significantly boosts the prestige of the State Security Service, said Mamuka Mdinaradze, Executive Secretary of “Georgian Dream,” commenting on Giorgi Bachiashvili’s statement that Anri Okhanashvili, head of the State Security Service, was on the flight that brought him back to Georgia.

According to Mamuka Mdinaradze, Executive Secretary of “Georgian Dream” and leader of the parliamentary majority, the Georgian Criminal Code will be amended to include a new penalty: “deportation of foreigners from Georgia and a ban on re-entry for a specified period.”

Forcing opponents to publicly apologize and repent due to personal insults or crude political criticism directed at the regime’s leader, oligarch, or their family members is yet another alarming and shameful symptom of where Ivanishvili’s regime is taking the country, stated Giga Bokeria, leader of the “Federalists” party. Bokeria was responding to a statement by Tina Bokuchava, chairwoman of “Unity National Movement,” regarding the abduction of her husband.

This terror is directly linked to Tina Bokuchava’s political activities, her activism, her travels to the regions, and her efforts to convince our party’s regional leaders that we will not participate in local elections, stated Lasha Parulava, a member of “Unity - National Movement,” during an appearance on PalitraNews’ program “Resume,” commenting on party leader Tina Bokuchava’s statement.

Kote Ioseliani expressed an opinion, perhaps inappropriate, eight years ago, and today he is being punished because it concerned the “naked king’s family.” This is already the verdict of this regime, stated Georgia’s fifth President, Salome Zurabishvili, in a statement.

Violent extremism has the same face in Los Angeles, Berlin, Paris, and Tbilisi. A mask hides the face of the aggressor in the same way everywhere, a Molotov cocktail burns police officers the same way, and a flare causes the same damage to people and buildings — writes the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili.

"This is an attempt at intimidation by single-celled, unintelligent, uneducated thugs. We will never surrender to this," – this is how Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, responded to today’s statement by United National Movement chairwoman Tina Bokuchava, who said that five masked individuals attacked and abducted her husband, Kote Ioseliani.

“What Tina Bokuchava is saying is a talentless performance, but at the same time, it carries the level of malice characteristic of the United National Movement.

“We expect the law enforcement agencies to respond to Tina Bokuchava’s statement just as swiftly and immediately as they did, for example, in the case of Mariam Lashkhi or when other Georgian Dream MPs were insulted. We also expect a response as prompt as the one the Prosecutor’s Office demonstrated regarding opposition members during the investigation committee’s case. This should be very easy to investigate—if the will exists.”

"It seems the German ambassador has a lot of free time! – He never misses the court hearings of a political opposition representative!

“If we can be dragged to court for allegedly failing to appear before a vague commission, then why is Tea Tsulukiani privileged and not required to appear before the same court?!”
