Aleko Elisashvili, one of the leaders of "Strong Georgia," stated that during his meeting with the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Alain Berset, he provided information not only about his own detention but also about other individuals arrested during protests.

He shared this with journalists:

"I spoke about my case—how my detention started, the beatings, the abduction, and what happened afterward. But I talked more about the other political prisoners than about myself. I explained that I am a politician, my name is known, but ordinary people have been beaten and tortured far more brutally. They are facing criminal charges. There are 40 such individuals. I mainly emphasized that these people need help.

My case is not over either. I've been out for 1.5 months, but they might send me back for three years. Forget about me—others are in far worse situations, facing severe charges of 9 or 15 years in prison. These people need rescue.

They [Council of Europe officials] are very well-informed and listened to me with great attention. They assured me that they would do everything in their power to help these individuals escape political imprisonment.

As for 'Georgian Dream,' many of them can't stand me. They want to deal with me through their police and thugs, to intimidate me, but neither I nor anyone else is afraid. What they are doing is counterproductive. I told them [the Council of Europe] that not a single police officer has been punished for the brutality they’ve committed since the spring.

I'm satisfied with this meeting. They know exactly what’s going on and are well-informed—they’re not out of touch with reality," Elisashvili stated.
