Three people accused of attacking journalist Vakho Sanaia - Suliko Sakevarashvili, Giorgi Sakhelashvili and Vazha Gigauri - remain in custody. The mentioned decision was announced by Tbilisi City Court judge Ketevan Jachvadze.
The prosecutor's office demanded that the accused remained in custody. The prosecution focused on the dangers posed by the detainees, such as hiding, destroying evidence and committing new crimes.
The lawyers demanded that the defendants be released without a measure of restraint and offered their release on 4,000 GEL bail as an alternative.
Law enforcers arrested 3 people for threatening and persecuting Vakho Sanaia on the grounds of intolerance and discrimination. The detainees face imprisonment for up to 3 years if convicted.
