Saakashvili Rejects Prosecutor’s Request for Interrogation

(Tbilisi, June 14 2003, Civil Georgia) – Leader of the National Movement and Chairman of Tbilisi City Council Mikheil Saakashvili rejected Prosecutor’s Office request for interrogation over the June 3 mass protest rally in Tbilisi.

“I have received the fourth appeal of the Prosecutor’s Office to come and answer their questions, but I am not going to do so, as it is illegal,” Mikheil Saakashvili said at the briefing today.

Some opposition leaders, including Zurab Zhvania of United Democrats and Davit Gamkrelidze of New Rights have already been questioned at Prosecutor’s Office the regarding their participation in organizing the anti-governmental protest rally in front of the Parliament building on June 3. 

Both of them admitted that were among the organizers of the protest rally, which was their constitutional right.

President Shevardnadze in his radio interview last week demanded from the law enforcers to investigate the legitimacy of the protest rally.
