2013-09-18 The UNM reported that its members are subjected to pressure by the office of the prosecutor. On August 28, 2013, coordinator of precinct N5 Nugzar Gogua, coordinator of precinct N35 Grigol Ghvania and coordinator of precinct N34 Luiza Jolokhava, in Maltakva, were summoned as witnesses for questioning. According to the head of the UNM’s office in Poti, Vakhtang Darsmelidze, the UNM members were summoned for questioning without explaining any reason. The coordinators have informed ISFED that they were asking questions about their political activities during questioning. Specifically, the office of the prosecutor was asking about number of coordinators, compensation that they receive and specific nature of work that they do. Members of the UNM view this as psychological pressure. ISFED would like to remind prosecution agencies of the IATF reccomendations in response to similar facts, according to which questioning for investigating purposes should be limited as much as possible during the period leading up to the Polling Day
