‘Despite the local and international involvement, as well as numerous promises, we haven’t seen the decision we wanted,’ Vazha Gaprindashvili’s daughter, Irina Gaprindashvili, wrote on her Facebook page.

Day 35! It is very unfortunate that despite the bulk of local and international involvements and promises, we have not seen the decision we wanted.

The trial was postponed for a week. The main reason for the cancellation is that Vazha Gaprindashvili denies the allegations and pleads not guilty,’ Irina Gaprindashvili notes.

Georgian doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili remains in illegal custody. The so-called trial of Vazha Gaprindashvili was held today.
