Georgian Parliament registered the draft law on amnesty on Wednesday.

The proposed draft envisages the release of inmates convicted for property damage, theft, forgery, some types of bodily harm, etc. The parliamentary Human Rights and Civil Integration Committee Chair, Mikheil Sarjveladze, explained.

The draft would also apply to inmates imprisoned for life and drug-related crimes, except for drug trafficking.

The crimes such as murder or domestic violence will not fall under the amnesty, noted Sarjveladze.

“Giorgi Rurua is hardly eligible for amnesty,” Sarjveladze responded to reporters.

Earlier this year, Giorgi Rurua, one of the shareholders of Mtavari Arkhi TV, was charged with illegal purchase, storage, and carrying of firearms.
