Inmates of Geguti Penitentiary Establishment # 14 threat with extreme forms of protest. They are about 300 prisoners, who were convicted for the drug-crimes and amnesty law partly applied to them.  

The convicted people request revision of their cases and address to the representatives of the legislative body, namely the members of the Human Rights and Legal Committees of the Parliament of Georgia. According to the Topnews.ge, the prisoners have already sent the petition to the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia Davit Usupashvili.

Humanrights.ge contacted the head of Public Defender’s Imereti bureau Madona Basiladze regarding this case.

“I also received information about it though I spent all day in Kutaisi Prison # 2 and cannot say anything in details,” Basiladze told humanrights.ge.
