They register names of all respondents I interview and then terrorize them. Consequently, I have coped with problems several times and I could not finish several journalistic investigations. The employees of the CSD got so impudent that they try to find out my location and work plan even from my colleagues. They spread various degrading information to discredit me as a journalist”, stated Mtivlishvili.
The journalist demands law enforcers to stop his chasing and intimidation. He is ready to answer any questions if these people have regarding his activities.
