Each new day that Elene Khoshtaria spends without a clinic, without appropriate examinations, is an absolutely conscious act that the Dream regime is doing against Elene Khoshtaria - Elene should be transferred to a civil clinic for examinations and further treatment, - Giga Lemonjava, one of the leaders of the Droa party, stated at a briefing when he spoke about the health condition of the imprisoned Droa leader, Elene Khoshtaria.

As he noted in a statement made on behalf of the party, 2 days ago, Elene Khoshtaria was visited by a rheumatologist, her physician, Maka Ioseliani.

According to Lemonjava, the doctor was unable to properly and fully examine Elene due to the unbearable pain she was experiencing. However, the examination was still possible, the doctor reviewed her medical documentation and concluded that the situation was serious and the disease was progressing.

“There are also additional factors in addition to the central disease that require additional research, and for all this it is necessary to transfer Elene to a civilian clinic, because in prison conditions there is no possibility of such complex examinations, final confirmation of the diagnosis and further treatment.

Throughout this entire period, we have refused to talk about medical details and medical solutions, because naturally we are not professionals in this field and we did not want, especially Elene did not want, for all this to have a hint of speculation. However, since the doctor has a formed position, a clear impression of what needs to be done, we want to clearly state that each new day that Elene spends without a clinic, without appropriate examinations, without final confirmation of the diagnosis and without treatment, is a new day of harm to Elene’s health, and this is not a random story, but an absolutely conscious story that the Dream regime is doing against Elene Khoshtaria.

Each new day that Elene is not transferred to a civilian clinic and not given adequate medical treatment is a deliberate attack on her health. This is a punitive operation that the regime is carrying out against her.

I would also like to tell you that what the rheumatologist Maka Ioseliani did should actually have been done by the Penitentiary Service. The direct responsibility of this service was to establish a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment. However, they did not do this, but with the involvement of the rheumatologist, we have a very clear picture today - Elene should be transferred to a civilian clinic for research and further treatment.

I would also like to state very clearly the position of Elene and the Droa party - regardless of any obstacles, regardless of any evil deeds of the regime, regardless of any step that the regime takes against Elene and the Droa party personally, we are not going to retreat for a single second, we are not going to stop the fight for a single second, there is no price that the regime will make us pay and we will stop fighting for Georgia’s freedom.

Freedom to the regime’s prisoners! Freedom to Georgia!”, - declared Giga Lemonjava.

The court found Elene Khoshtaria, the politician and leader of Droa, guilty of damaging Kakha Kaladze’s election banner. By the verdict of Judge Giorgi Arevadze, Elene Khoshtaria was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison.
