In Rustavi prison, after insulting Mikheil Saakashvili, the guard attacked his lawyer Shota Tutberidze.
After leaving Mikheil Saakashvili, I was undergoing a standard body search, and one of the officers insulted Mikheil Saakashvili. In front of cameras. There were cameras set up and another employee was present. We pointed out that he could not behave this way, swearing and insulting any of the prisoners he was responsible for protecting, there was a problem; I asked his name and he refused. I then told him to go outside and repeat it in public.
He took me to a room where he told me there were no cameras and he repeatedly used foul language towards Mikheil Saakashvili, to which I told him he was an adult, after which he swore at me, to which I also responded. After that he continued to use verbal abuse and then resorted to physical abuse," said Tutberidze.
