Gela Mtivlishvili Blames the Prosecutor’s Office

February 19, 2008
The journalist was threatened from phone at night on 3 February 2008. “I will cut your head off, and then I will put it in the bag and send to your family. Unless you stop your activities, we will kill you. Do you know who are you opposing? You know it is not problem for us to kill you. We will put you in the car –boot and animals will eat your body. Your relatives will not see your dead body”, -  Mtivlishvili was threatened with these words.

The department of Internal Affairs in Gurjaani started investigation regarding to this fact. The name of the person who threatened the journalist is known for the Prosecutor’s office. Grigoriani who lives in Tbilisi emphasizes in the testimony given to investigation that he really phoned to the journalist and insulted him but he rejected the fact of threatening. 

Grigoriani gave controversial testimonies and Prosecutor’s office was not interested in this. I think he threatened me with other person’s order who is the official with the reliable sources and because of it Prosecutor’s office does not recognize Grigoriani as an accused though there are impartial bases in this case”, - Mtivlishvili mentions.

Mtivlishvili is going to begin starvation at the General Prosecutor’s office if it will not be investigated who gave the order to threaten the journalist with annihilating his life and if the offenders will not be charged.
It must be mentioned that several attacks on him were realized last years. There was even the attempt to kill him. However, these allegations have not been yet investigated.
