The prosecution responds to statements made by the lawyers of detained activist Nino Datashvili, clarifying that the defense submitted documents reflecting Datashvili’s health condition, which indicated psycho-emotional lability as a concurrent condition. As a result, it was deemed appropriate to order a psychiatric examination.

As stated in the prosecution’s statement, in such cases, a psychiatric examination is always ordered.

“We wish to respond to the public statements made by Nino Datashvili’s lawyers regarding the ordering of a psychiatric examination for the accused.

It is known to the public that Nino Datashvili is charged with a crime under Article 353, Part 3 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, specifically for assaulting a public servant—a court bailiff—during the performance of their duties.

In this criminal case, the defense submitted documents reflecting Nino Datashvili’s health condition, which indicated psycho-emotional lability as a concurrent condition.

Based on the above, since the medical documentation provided by the lawyers referenced the accused’s psycho-emotional state, it was deemed appropriate to order an examination.

We would also like to inform the public that, in such cases, a psychiatric examination is always ordered,” the statement reads.

For reference, according to the organization “Partnership for Human Rights,” the prosecution requested a psychiatric examination for the detained activist Nino Datashvili, and the court granted this motion.

The organization claims that the prosecution is attempting to address this issue without any basis. According to Tamuna Gabodze, head of “Partnership for Human Rights,” the court issued permission for Nino Datashvili to be transferred to a psychiatric facility involuntarily.
