Berlin has recalled its ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer, for consultations. The decision, made by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadepoel, is intended to determine how to proceed, the ministry announced.

Crimean Tatar political prisoner Abdukakhor Muminjanov, sentenced to 17 years in prison, was transferred from the colony to prison hospital No. 3 of Mordovia. Previously, he was repeatedly placed in a punishment cell.
Abdukakhor Muminjanov was diagnosed with hypertension, epilepsy, problems with the heart, joints and vision. According to his wife, in Mordovian IK-17 he was not exempted from work and inspections and was threatened with a punishment cell, despite the deterioration of his condition: the man’s left side of his body began to go numb and his tooth ached.
In February 2020, Abdukakhor Muminjanov was sentenced to seventeen years in a maximum security colony on charges of involvement in the activities of the Hizb ut-Tahrir party. He has been in custody since March 14, 2017.
