Med Council Members Were Denied Entry into Gldani Prison to Visit Saakashvili
Members of the medical council were denied admission to the Gldani prison medical center, according to Shota Tutberidze, the lawyer for Mikheil Saakashvili, Georgia's third president.
The cause, according to Shota Tutberidze, was the conclusion of the Penitentiary Service's operating hours.
"Today it was planned that the council would visit the third president at the Gldani facility. Many thanks to each and every member of this council, my respect to them for finding time to come during non-working hours. Unfortunately, after a two-hour wait, the penitentiary service refused them entry on the grounds that it was non-working hours.
“The council has already been in the penitentiary institution during non-working hours, and today one of the members of the council, Nikoloz Kipshidze, was in the penitentiary institution. We think that this step of the penitentiary service is absolutely illegal and shameful. In our opinion, it proves once again that the government spits on an illusory opponent and is trying to limit the rights of the third president,” Shota Tutberidze said.
