Observers of the Human Rights Center, who had to submit the appeal to the Lagodekhi District Court before 8:00 pm on June 3, were not allowed to reach the court on time.
‘The trial finished at 7:00 pm at Gurjaani district court and after that we went to Lagodekhi. The representatives of the National Movement, who attended the trial in Gurjaani, knew about it. The policemen stopped us at the entrance of the village Baisubani in Lagodekhi district at 7:35 pm; the detective-investigators drew up protocol on us for high-speed. It took policeman Teimuraz Jajanidze almost 20 minutes to write the protocol; he was speaking on the phone simultaneously in order to prolong the time. They finished writing the protocol at 8:00 pm and the police let us go. We arrived at the court at 8:06 pm but there was nobody in the building. The policemen were ordered to hinder us by the officials from the Kakheti regional governor’s administration and officer of the Lagodekhi district police department Giorgi Lekishvili organized the operation. He is a nephew of the former district governor and leader of the Lagodekhi office of the National Movement Gia Gozalishvili,” said the lawyer of the Kakheti office of the Human Rights Center Lia Khuroshvili.
