28/10/05, “Media News” – A delegation from the Ministry of Justice, led by the Minister’s deputy Konstantine Korelia, went to Strasburg on a two-day official visit.
Human rights in Abkhazia and current conditions in the penitentiary system were discussed during the meeting. According to Korelia, the most important meeting was held with the Council of Europe’s High Commissioner on Human Rights Hill Robles. During the meeting, the Georgian side once again raised the issue of Hill Robles’ visit to Georgia. “We came to an agreement that Mr. Robles will visit Georgia to learn about the situation in Ossetia and Abkhazia by himself. After that, he will give us his recommendations,”- said Korelia. The exact date of the visit is not yet known.
Current conditions in the penitentiary system in Georgia were also discussed during the meeting. CoE experts, who visited Georgia last summer, will publish a report about it in November.
