Deacon Giorgi Mamaladze charged over the so-called cyanide case has begun a strike action in his prison cell, according to one of his lawyers Nika Gvaramia. As per him, he visited the convicted deacon, who, after the President's decision, launched a strike. Gvaramia says that the deacon's medical status is critical, and he finds it difficult to talk, and one part of his body is paralyzed and weak.
The President pardoned five inmates today but refused to parole Deacon Mamaladze.
