Elene Khoshtaria transferred from prison to Todua Clinic

Elene Khoshtaria, the imprisoned leader of the Droa party, has been transferred from the Rustavi women's prison to the Todua Clinic in Tbilisi.

The convicted politician was brought into the hospital in a wheelchair for a scheduled check-up.

"As previously agreed, she is taken to the clinic for check-ups approximately once a month; she also requires the administration of a specific medication once a month. Her health condition is more or less stable—though it would be inaccurate to say she has recovered. She remains at the Todua Clinic at this time," the Droa press office told InterPressNews.

Several months ago, Elene Khoshtaria, the leader of the Droa party, was initially transferred to the Vivamedi clinic due to a deterioration in her health. She was subsequently returned from that facility to the Rustavi women's prison on September 27.

As a reminder, Elene Khoshtaria, leader of the Droa party, was arrested by law enforcement on September 15, 2025, in connection with the damaging of an election banner belonging to Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze. Elene Khoshtaria had written the words "Russian Dream" on Kaladze's election banner. The court imposed a bail of 5,000 GEL as a preventive measure; however, she refused to pay it.

Khoshtaria was charged under Article 187, Part 1, which pertains to the damaging of another person's property, resulting in significant damage. Judge Giorgi Arevadze found Khoshtaria guilty of damaging Kaladze's banner and sentenced her to one year and six months in prison.
