Two police officers involved in beating a juvenile with disabilities in the Isani subway station, Nugzar Bakradze and Kakhaber Bakashvili, will be sent behind bars, judge Mikheil Jinjolia announced.

The judge satisfied the Prosecutor’s Office demand, having decided that the officers could flee to avoid criminal responsibility, commit another crime or pressure witnesses.

The defence had requested their release on bail. The pre-trial is scheduled for March 15.

Two employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were arrested for violence against a juvenile with disabilities in the Isani subway station in Tbilisi, as shown in the video released by the media on January 24.
