Davit Kirkitadze sentenced to imprisonment

The Gurjaani District Court has ordered pre-trial detention as a preventive measure for the member of National Movement Davit Kirkitadze today.

The prosecution requested imprisonment as a preventive measure since believed that there was a risk that he would abscond.

Lawyer George Kondakhishvili said that Kirkitadze did not plead guilty, and his detention was a political decision.

The trial into Davit Kirkitadze’s case has been held in Gurjaani today. The member of the opposition was detained on December 16, inauguration day of President Salome Zurabishvili for a clash with law-enforcers near Velistsikhe village of Kakheti region.
