Asatiani, of course you will defend the rich and the powerful.
But tell me — where are you when socially vulnerable, mutilated, devastated people need someone to defend them free of charge?
You are the man under whose chairmanship I was defending exactly such a person — a severely injured man who had lost his hand — completely free of charge. In that case, I secured court-ordered seizure measures over six real estate properties connected to Modus, worth tens of millions.
I made the case public in order to reduce the possibility of improper influence being exerted on the court.
And then, in my view, you were specifically tasked with destroying me professionally. Together with your close associate Kote Gelashvili, who was involved in the disciplinary structures of the Georgian Bar Association, fabricated materials were used against me and my licence to practise law was suspended for three years.
An innocent lawyer — one who had no professional problems with his clients — was professionally destroyed through a process involving people at the highest level of the Bar Association. What greater form of professional treachery could there be?
I have never heard of such a disgraceful case anywhere in the world. ????
You never defended the weak. In my assessment, you always stood on the side of the powerful and served their interests. For me, this reduces your professional authority to zero. ????
And of course you help Bidzina.
Years ago, when I challenged the system you headed before the Constitutional Court, I came close to placing the compulsory structure of an organisation representing around 10,000 lawyers under serious constitutional scrutiny. My constitutional complaints were admitted for consideration on the merits.
At that time, I was also subjected to television attacks and public bullying involving organisations presented as defenders of women.
In my view, the oligarchic system protected you then as well, because despite my cases reaching the merits stage, my claims were ultimately not upheld. ????????️
Now your close friend Irakli Kandashvili continues along the same path.
There is an expert report from the Samkharauli National Forensics Bureau on which I rely, and which, in my interpretation, raises serious questions about the authenticity of the disputed materials used against me.
Yet the response I receive is that there is supposedly no legal mechanism to reopen the case.
I cannot call that justice. ????️????️
It is shameful that a person who, in my assessment, participated in the professional destruction of an innocent lawyer is today able to continue his career freely, while that lawyer is living abroad with his family. ????
Even my shadow is better than you, Asatiani — because you have never put your own life, career, and everything you possess on the line to defend poor, vulnerable, and powerless people.
