Elene Khoshtaria: Yesterday, after the briefing, I had communication from the prison administration - no concrete steps have been taken yet, and there has been no meeting with the treating physician, but I was promised that it will take place

Yesterday, after the briefing, I had communication from the prison administration – no concrete steps have been taken yet, and there has been no meeting with the treating physician, but I was promised that it will take place,” writes Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the imprisoned “Coalition for Change,” on social media.

She also notes that as soon as a real treatment plan is developed, she will inform the public.

In addition, Khoshtaria writes that her lawyer, Shota Tutberidze, has “once again become an unjust victim of the regime’s attack.”

“I deeply regret that because of me, a dignified lawyer and a person we are all proud of, Shota Tutberidze, has once again, completely unjustly, become a victim of the regime’s attack.

Of course, it is not new under this regime that a person who tells the truth is attacked, but it is still astonishing how easily a person lies when trying to save themselves. It is a pitiful sight to see.

I want to emphasize that I take responsibility for every word Shota said at the briefing. I have no desire to enter into any kind of discussion with the regime.

And finally, friends, as I informed you yesterday, after the briefing I had communication from the prison administration. No concrete steps have been taken yet, and there has been no meeting with the treating physician, but I was promised that it will happen. As soon as a real treatment plan is developed, of course, I will inform the public,” Khoshtaria writes.

For context, lawyer Shota Tutberidze stated at a press conference that the health condition of Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the “Coalition for Change,” has worsened. He noted that she is experiencing severe joint pain and difficulty moving, sometimes cannot write, and needs a crutch when moving around.

Later, the Special Penitentiary Service issued a statement saying that “Elene Khoshtaria is provided with all appropriate conditions and has unhindered access to all services, including medical services.”
