Georgian director Ketevan Samkharadze’s five-act political farce doesn’t shy away from exposing the country’s hardest truths.
Giorgi Gakharia has reportedly been abroad for months, while several other Georgian opposition figures have been jailed.
The Prosecutor General’s Office cited a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights as its rationale for the investigation.
Gakharia is being accused of creating a risk of war by installing a checkpoint neat South Ossetia in 2019.
MPs from the opposition For Georgia party did not renounce their parliamentary mandates, but have still been boycotting sessions.
Municipal elections in Georgia are planned to be held on 4 October.
It was unclear until the last moment whether Giorgi Gakharia would even attend the commission’s hearing.
