South Ossetian opposition leader Alla Dzhioyeva was hospitalized after law enforcers tried to take her into custody for questioning, the former Georgian republic’s deputy prosecutor general, Georgy Kabulov, said on Thursday.
“Dzhioyeva was summoned for questioning to the prosecutor general’s office as an eyewitness in the attempt to seize the Central Election Commission’s building last year,” Kabulov said. “She did not show up.”
“When law enforcers entered her home [to try to bring her in for questioning using force], she suffered a hypertensive crisis and she fainted. She is in a hospital now,” he said.
A doctor in the hospital said Dzhioyeva, who was planning her inauguration for February 10, had suffered a micro-stroke, or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and was presently in an emergency room.
