Tbilisi. The Human Rights Center addresses the Chief Prosecutor of Georgia Archil Kbilashvili with a request to launch investigation in the prison riot that took place on 26 March 2005 in the Ortachala Prison."To suppress the so-called prison riot, the authorities at the time used cruel methods. Several (various numbers are given) inmates were killed with firearms. Regardless of this, it is not investigated until now whether the excess of power had occurred, and most importantly - the cause of the inmates' riot is not objectively established. Accordingly, the leadership of the penitentiary system at the time has not been held responsible", – says the letter released by the organization.
