Inmate Is Dying in Ksani Prison

February 11, 2009

Health conditions of Robert Kharaishvili, a prisoner in Ksani prison, are extremely poor. Relatives of the prisoner requested the prison administration to send him to jail hospital but the request was not satisfied.
Tamar Batiashvili, mother of the prisoner, stated if her son is not taken to the hospital immediately he might die in several days. The mother petitioned to the Public Defender of Georgia for help but there was no improvement yet.

The Human Rights Center tried to get information about health conditions of the prisoner from the penitentiary department but despite many attempts to get the information the center could not get any reply.
