The Georgian Prosecutor's Office accused the opposition television channel TV Pirveli of spreading "further disinformation" after airing a report about Tamar Bezhuashvili, the prosecutor in the case of the attempted storming of the presidential palace. The office stated that this is the second time in the past six weeks that the channel has produced material related to the business activities of the prosecutor's father and is "completely unfoundedly" attempting to link it to her professional work.
Journalist Amet Suleymanov, sentenced to 12 years and serving time in prison No. 2 in the Vladimir region, did not receive the necessary medications for heart failure. He has been living without them for three months now. The prisoner's family prepared and sent him a package with drugs, but it was not accepted.
The Crimean Tatar experiences malaise and weakness, suffers from swelling of the legs and pain in the joints. He has severe shortness of breath and high blood pressure. He was recommended to have surgery to replace a heart valve.
Not only parcels, but also letters are not delivered to Suleymanov, messages are not sent to relatives.
In 2019, the Southern District Military Court, despite numerous statements from the defense about Suleymanov’s health, sentenced him to 12 years in a maximum security colony in the case of participation in the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in the Russian Federation. His lawyer Lilya Gemedzhi considers the sentence fatal: “They sentenced him to die. For a person with such a diagnosis, imprisonment is cynicism.”
