GPO: Djioeva cleared out of all suspicions of attempt to seize power in South Ossetia
As reported by the General Prosecutor's Office of South Ossetia, the leader of the opposition and the former presidential candidate Alla Djioeva is now free of any suspicions of an attempted illegal seizure of power – now she is just a witness in the litigation.
The case was initiated on the events that took place on November 30, 2011, in Tskhinvali, when Ms Djioeva's supporters, who disagreed with the decision of the Supreme Court of South Ossetia on abolition of the outcomes of the presidential election, according to which she was the winner, made an attempt to break into the building of the CEC. Despite the appointment of the new election, Djioeva had appointed her inauguration as President for February 10. On February 9, the acting head of South Ossetia Vadim Brovtsev treated Alla Djioeva's statements as a call to seize power by force.
"From February 17 on, Djioeva was cleared out of all suspicions; and at this stage she figures in the criminal case not as a suspect, but as a witness. The inquiry goes on," said Alan Pliev, an inspector of the GPO of South Ossetia, the IA "Res" reports.
Meanwhile, today Alla Djioeva was discharged from the hospital, where she got in February with a hypertensive crisis after her election office was seized by storming. "Alla feels good; her treatment is over; therefore, it was decided to let her go home," the "Interfax" quotes Svetlana Koroeva, the head of the cardiology department of the Republic's Somatic Hospital in Tskhinvali.
