Irakli Abesadze – The Public Defender has submitted an amicus curiae brief to the Court of Appeal regarding Irakli Nadiradze and Lasha Beridze; the court will now have to refute the position held not only by the lawyers but also by the Public Defender.
Levan Ioseliani held meetings at the U.S. Department of State
Lawyer: Irakli Garibashvili has no new messages at this stage - as for the announced fight, he meant defending himself and his family
Penitentiary Service: No visit was scheduled and none was cancelled — convicted Gharibashvili has fully used up his visit limits
Ombudsman: Irakli Gharibashvili has expressed no complaints regarding his prison conditions or the treatment by the administration; the only issue he raised concerned the cancellation of a visit
Levan Ioseliani: Vano Merabishvili - 6 years and 9 months, Zurab Adeishvili - 6 years, Davit Kezerashvili - 5 years, Bacho Akhalaia - 9 years, Megis Kardava - 9 years, Aleko - 13 years!
Levan Gogichaishvili: We could not make Levan Ioseliani say in words what is written in his report; he was unable to present his own report orally; we are asking whether his silence is caused by the fact that his family members benefit from privileges in the energy business?
Public Defender - Out of 573 persons detained at rallies, 302 indicated alleged ill-treatment, 194 suffered injuries - It is Necessary to Study Alleged Mistreatment Facts Within a Short Timeframe
Public Defender to be heard in Parliament today
Giorgi Sharashidze: It will definitely not be an easy walk for Kobakhidze in Parliament - I hope he will have enough courage to name the person who called from the ‘deep state’ as well
Vika Pilpani: Instead of Levan Ioseliani, Gorduladze was answering our questions - Today, the Public Defender cannot even defend himself
The Public Defender, after examining the issue of restricting the right of communication with the outside world - including with children - for Levan Khabeishvili, has submitted a proposal to Parliament to regulate the matter
Public Defender - I express my readiness to monitor Elene Khoshtaria in order to protect her right to health and, if she agrees, to conduct a visit by a representative of the Office and study her medical materials
Public Defender - The police officers who participated in violence against people must be held accountable before the law, this is very important
Levan Ioseliani - I call on the government to protect the standard of expression - I think that the parents of children with Duchenne are quite constructive and I hope that the state will also have such an approach
