The Special Penitentiary Service denies information circulated regarding violence against Davit Peikrishvili

Statement of the Penitentiary Service

The Special Penitentiary Service states that there was no violence against Davit Peikrishvili by cellmates and calls the circulated information disinformation. According to the agency, during a meeting with his lawyer, the prisoner suddenly left the room, broke the glass of a corridor window, and threatened self-harm with a piece of glass, after which other prisoners verbally abused him. The Penitentiary Service also notes that due to the Peikrishvili brothers being accused in the same criminal case, their interaction with each other is prohibited by law. Imedi+5

Davit Peikrishvili's lawyer, Paata Gogiashvili, claims that the prisoner was physically assaulted after October 16 by Vato Kipiani, Shota Kipiani, Avtandil Bilanishvili, and other individuals. According to the lawyer, Peikrishvili has broken ribs and injuries to facial bones. The prisoner's mother, Nino Abramishvili, demands a meeting with her son and the transfer of both brothers to a clinic, stating that Davit Peikrishvili has been beaten. At the same time, the Penitentiary Service, as a result of a petition to the Prosecutor's Office, granted Peikrishvili the right to a one-time phone call with his mother. Formula+7
