“Family members will assemble for his release from Rustavi Prison at 11:00 o’clock,” said Abashmadze.

The 4-year prison term of Shalva Ramishvili ends tomorrow. He was accused of extortion and gaining money from Koba Bekauri, a former member of parliament. The officers of the Constitutional Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs detained Ramishvili and Davit Kohkreidze, another co-founder of the TV Company 202, on August 26, 2005 on account of extortion. Davit Kokhreidze was released due to a pardon by the president, but Ramishvili refused to accept the pardon.
