Adriashvili says that at the same time the other name was mentioned by transmitter who was aloud to enter. Andriashvili surprised with the fact demanded to meet the chief: “the room is full of employees of “SOD”. Then their chief came as well and told me that he would not let me meet the prisoner, at the same time he indicated the paper on the wall. There was written that the receiving time was from 10am till 4.30. Before the fact I entered the prison 10 minutes earlier for several times, I also explained that the court hearing of prisoner would take place next day and their meeting was important to arrange”,- Andriashvili says.
