Barrak said in a statement he received the summons two days ago and was asked to appear at the Criminal Investigation Department today at 9.00 am, and “after consultations with my legal team, I have decided to decline the sum- mons”. The former outspoken lawmaker listed several rea- sons for his action, raising a number of highly contro- versial and sensitive issues which could lead to police arresting and detaining him. Barrak claimed the sum- mons was against the law, “which stipulates that I should be told about the nature of the case filed and the name of the person who filed it”. “If I was sum- moned as a suspect, then the law stipulates that the Criminal Investigations Department should first sum- mon the complainant and hear his testimony before doing the same with the accused,” he added. The oppo- sition hardliner said that if the public prosecution issues a subpoena to summon him, he would react to it when it happens.
