On March 7, 2024, Public Defender Levan Ioseliani met with part of the life sentence prisoners placed in Penitentiary Establishment No. 8 (Gldani), who have undergone a 2-year preparatory programme for parole and commutation.

The Public Defender got interested in the effectiveness of the programme, as well as the realization of convicts’ rights in the court during the process of commutation of the unserved part of the sentence and conditional release.

The Public Defender will continue to meet with life sentence prisoners and actively monitor the release preparation programme, as well as the parole/sentence commutation process.
