Special Penitentiary Service General Director ready to meet Droa Leader’s physician to give process actual dynamics

Special Penitentiary Service General Director Giorgi Pataridze said he was ready to meet Droa Leader Elene Khoshtaria’s physician, Maka Ioseliani, “at any time to give the process actual dynamics.”

According to Pataridze, the meeting proposed by the Special Penitentiary Service has been postponed till June 29 at Maka Ioseliani’s desire.

Pataridze noted that he wanted to meet the doctor to exchange viewpoints and go through the details, saying the service had some laboratory test results to plan a future medication strategy.

As Giorgi Pataridze states, communicating via briefings resembles a “theater of the absurd” and is entirely pointless, as the Penitentiary Service needs to assess the actual situation together with Elene Khoshtaria’s attending physician.

“When the physician reports through a briefing that the individual suffers from severe pain but talks to the penitentiary service with briefings, I think the situation resembles a theater of the absurd and is entirely pointless. Assessment of the actual situation with Elene Khoshtaria’s attending physician is significant.

In February 2026, I remember a completely different position from the convict Elene Khoshtaria. I remember a completely different position from hers. You will understand this yourself. I will tell you about this later. If we continue talking to each other through briefings, we will never address the issue and move on to the management of the processes. I will be forced to take other steps. However, I defend the interests of the cinvict, remember that,” he said.

The Opposition Alliance released a statement urging for transferring Elene Khoshtaria to a civilian clinic for complex medical examinations, confirmation of the diagnosis, and systemic treatment health as the “only way to improve her health state.”
