Briefing on Christmas Pardon to be Held at President's Administration

A briefing will be held today at 12:00 at the Administration of the President of Georgia regarding the Christmas Pardon, the President’s Press Office reports.

The President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili will issue a pardon act for Christmas after a several-month moratorium on acts of amnesty.

Zurabishvili declared a moratorium on pardoning prisoners in September, following turmoil surrounding the pardoning of inmates convicted for premeditated homicide.

It is unknown if the list will include Archbishop Giorgi Mamaladze.

The Holy Synod on November 8 requested the President release the Archbishop.

Mamaladze was detained in September 2017 for allegedly plotting the murder of a high-ranking clergy member of the Georgian Orthodox Church and sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment, being found guilty by the Tbilisi City Court.
