Nika Melia has probably committed the most serious crime on June 20. Such a statement made today Shalva Papuashvili, a member of the parliamentary majority.

“I have the impression that we do not agree on the main issue - whether there should be an amnesty or not. We know that this was the spirit of Charles Michel’s document as a whole and including in relation to the amnesty bill.

We are talking about amnesty, which applies to all offences except for the ones that cannot be part of amnesty under international legal obligations, such as torture, inhuman treatment and intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm. The most serious offence forgiven by amnesty is the offence allegedly committed by Nika Melia.

As for the assertion that the Charles Michel document implies that the amnesty only applies to ongoing cases, I can tell you that this is a lie and manipulation”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
