**Leader Summoned to Prosecutor’s Office**
Badri Japaridze, a leader of the group “Lelo – Strong Georgia,” has been called to the Prosecutor’s Office. He claims that the investigation is unnecessary and aims to silence him.
Japaridze was contacted by an investigator from Tbilisi named Marta Kikinashvili. She wants to question him as a witness, but did not specify which case he would be questioned about.
The interrogation is related to a previous investigation launched by the Parliamentary Temporary Investigative Commission. Japaridze says this investigation is pointless and will not cooperate with it. Instead, he will give his statement before a magistrate judge.
Japaridze made these statements on his Facebook page. He has exercised his right under Georgia’s Criminal Procedure Code to be questioned in front of a magistrate judge.
