Russia and the de facto authorities must ensure that Vaja Gaprindashvili is immediately released from the detention and compensated for the harm he has suffered as a result, the Amnesty International said in a statement on Friday.
According to the organization, Shota Bidzinashvili, who spent nine days in detention in Tskhinvali together with Vaja Gaprindashvili, in a media interview complained that they were held in “a cold and humid basement without air.”
“Both Russia and the de facto authorities must also ensure that no-one is subjected to torture and other ill-treatment in the territory under their control,” the statement reads.
