Three Versions of Guram Sharadze’s Political Assassination (the end)

One more prominent figure, scientist, former MP, politician and Guram Sharadze’s friend, Elizbar Javelidze, conversed with Human Rights Center. He claims that Sharadze was shot not from one but two guns. He has several questions regarding the investigation and expects law enforcers to answer his questions. However, Javelidze, like other respondents does not believe the investigation will be unbiased.

Elizbar Javelidze: “I do not trust the investigation. The assassination of Guram Sharadze will remain uninvestigated like the murder of his son. It was political assassination and nobody will persuade me that prominent public man was killed by three shots for personal disagreements. Current political situation shows that every person with patriotic spirit will be arrested, evicted or murdered. Our government is ordered to fights against all kind national movements. While Global Empire is being established every nations should be annihilated. Everybody who prevents the process must be removed. Some of them were arrested; others were murdered. This chain of political assassinations will not finish with Guram Sharadze.”

As for Javelidze’s questions regarding the investigation are the followings: “On the one hand, a murderer could not kill a victim in the central street in front of the video eye by day time. It was premeditated murder. Sharadze was shot from two sides and finally the third control bullet was fired at him. Thus it was impossible that murderer were only one person. There are two guns in the accident. Consequently there are a lot of questions and they must be answered. Witnesses, who are ready to keep to their initial testimonies, claim that after two bullets were shot to Sharadze and afterwards another person appeared and he shot the control bullet. Like the assassination of Zurab Zhvania, this accident will remain uninvestigated until the government changes. I wonder how the murderer was chased by a car and finally he was detained close to Mrgvali Bagi. (Round garden); it is absurd.”

Although it became impossible to receive information from investigation, law enforcers should have got interested into the information of respondents. It is interesting that none of them was interrogated yet.

Having finished the working on the article, Rusudan Sharadze got in touch with the Human Rights Center and gave new information. She managed to see the video record of Guram Sharadze’s assassination. The respondent got persuaded once again that her father was not murdered by Barateli. “On July 5, I saw video recording made by the video eye installed on the building of “Aldagi” office together with family lawyers, Nino Nishnianidze and Nugzar Birkia. It presented the murder of Guram Sharadze on May 20. Initially I should point out that the quality of the film is very poor, and it is black-and-white. We were trying to make out five-minute-recording during five hours. Having seen it, I got persuaded that Barateli was not a murderer and he was not on the scene of murder at all. The appearance of real murderer coincides with the descriptions of tens of witnesses who saw the criminal (I have met those witnesses several days after the accident; but now I do not want to name them because of their safety). The murderer is well-built person of 1, 78-80 meters tall, with broad shoulders and hair on his head. Barateli is short, nearly 1, 60 meters tall, thin person and the most important is that during the assassination he had shaven his hair!”

“I think the struggle for the truth has become reasonable and the family of Guram Sharadze, having consulted the question with lawyers, decided to involve the investigation process. If law enforcers destroy the film, it will be worse for them. We will fight till the end! In addition to that, if any member of our family will be somehow harassed, the Georgian government will be responsible for that!”
