Davit Asatiani, Chairman of Georgian Lawyers’ Association said he kept hope that Doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili, kept imprisoned by the occupational regime, would be released during the next court trial scheduled for December 20.

“It is regrettable that nobody has common sense that the doctor who is arrested for his humanitarian activities and does not plead guilty has remained in the illegal imprisonment for more than 1 month,” Asatiani said.

The court trial into the case of Doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili was held on December 13. According to the decision of the court, Gaprindashvili was left in imprisonment.

Tbilisi-based doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili was illegally detained by Russian occupation forces near the occupation line with Akhalgori Municipality on November 9. He was sent to two-month pretrial detention on November 15.

Vazha Gaprindashvili was charged with “illegally crossing the border” under article 322 of the criminal code of Russia.
