Lawyer: Paata Burchuladze will consider the possibility of his own release only after all political prisoners have that same opportunity

Paata Burchuladze will consider the possibility of his own release only after all political prisoners have that same opportunity—this was stated by Shota Tutberidze, the lawyer for Paata Burchuladze, who was arrested following the events at Atoneli Palace on October 4.

According to him, Paata Burchuladze is pleased that a significant number of prisoners will have the opportunity to gain their freedom.

"Mr. Paata Burchuladze welcomes and is pleased that a significant number of political prisoners will have the opportunity to gain their freedom, and he welcomes the release of all political prisoners.

He was an organizer of the national assembly, and he has never denied this for a single moment.

Will he personally approach the Prosecutor's Office to request a plea bargain? Paata Burchuladze will consider the possibility of his own release only after all political prisoners have that same opportunity," stated Shota Tutberidze.

For the record, those convicted in the October 4 case—Murtaz Zodelava, Lasha Beridze, and Guri Zhvania—have applied to the Prosecutor's Office requesting a plea agreement.
