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.
After the appeal of the “Team Against Torture”, the Supreme Court of Chechnya sent a complaint to the lower court against the investigator’s refusal to initiate a criminal case for torture against the former actor of the Grozny Russian Drama Theater Timur Debishev. In Chechnya, investigators 13 times refused to charge police officers under the article of abuse of power with the use of violence.
According to Debishev, in 2018, security forces found in his mobile phone the number of a drug trafficking suspect. The actor was detained, beaten and tortured with electric shock. At the Republican Hospital, Debishev was diagnosed with multiple hematomas on his body, and a medical expert determined that he had injuries caused by electric current.
Recently, the European Court ruled to pay Debishev compensation in the amount of 52 thousand euros.
