November 4, 2009

Mother of the convicted Robert Kharaishvili threatens with suicide in front of the ministry of penitentiary in protest.

The convicted served 2/3 of his sentence and his attorney and family members have been requesting his release for seven months already, but in vain. The prisoner has cancer. Besides that, he has C hepatitis, Tuberculosis and AIDS. He has pus in the throat and cannot speak and his health conditions get worse.

The prisoner is in prison hospital now. He needs to be operated on it, but despite the repeated requests of the prisoner, the administration of Penitentiary office does not take him to the cancer center.

According to the mother of the prisoner, she will crash into the car of Dimitri Shashkin, the Minister of Penitentiary and commit a suicide near the building of Penitentiary Ministry in protest.
