I would not call them political prisoners. Such a statement made today the Minister of Internal Affairs, while commenting the release of Natalia Ilychova and Iveri Melashvili.

“When the Prosecutor’s office deemed it necessary, they demanded arrest, but now they have considered that it was necessary to demand the release on bail. All people are equal. Those who commit an offence must be held accountable - be they ministers, ordinary employees or heads of departments”, - added Vakhrang Gomelauri.
