Businessman Giorgi Chikvaidze’s health condition is serious. He was detained on charges of embezzling a large amount of money.
Giorgi’s lawyer visited him yesterday at the Gldani prison clinic. After the lawyer left, two people came in and said they were psychologists. They tried to put pressure on Giorgi, who is on hunger strike. The conversation was about his political views, which is not something psychologists would normally talk about.
This explains why Giorgi hasn’t been transferred to a better hospital yet. He’s still very ill and continues to go without food.
A staff member from the Public Defender‘s Office visited Giorgi and wrote a report about what happened. This information was shared by businessman Irakli Papiashvili, who is friends with Giorgi.
For context, Giorgi was granted bail of 50,000 GEL when he was first arrested. However, this has now been replaced with pre-trial detention. His friend Irakli Papiashvili is also accused and has been given the same amount of bail as Giorgi. Giorgi started his hunger strike on March 12.
