Davitadze's mother criticized the conclusion of the innocence of the prison staff.
The mother of the convicted Georgy Davitadze considered the investigators' position biased, as they did not confirm the version of sexualized violence against her son in the Rustavi prison.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the convicted Georgy Davitadze stated in court that he was subjected to sexualized violence in a solitary cell of Rustavi prison No. 6. According to him, up to 10 guards were involved in the violence, but none of the staff he named have been held accountable. On October 10, the Prosecutor General's Office terminated the investigation into the possible violence against Davitadze. According to the investigation's findings, Davitadze was not subjected to violence during the search, and the staff acted within the law, using only superficial pat-downs and a metal detector to check his body.
The penitentiary service of Georgia rejected the prisoner's accusations. According to Davitadze, the violence occurred within the view of surveillance cameras, but the staff positioned themselves in such a way that their actions were not fully recorded on video, JAMnews reported.
The mother of Georgy Davitadze, Irma Davitadze, commented on the prosecutor's statement, noting that she did not expect a different outcome, as reported by "Interpressnews" on October 10.
"I did not expect anything else because this government is based on lies. Let it remain on their conscience," her words are quoted in the publication.
For its part, the prosecutor's office indicated that on December 26, 2025, five days after Georgy Davitadze was transferred to the de-escalation room and underwent a personal search, during a conversation with a representative of the Public Defender's office, Davitadze did not mention the fact of sexualized violence.
"Georgy Davitadze was interrogated on January 12, 2026, in the presence of a lawyer. Only at this stage of the investigation did he report alleged sexual violence against him. At the same time, Georgy Davitadze, in the presence of a lawyer, refused to undergo a medical examination," the agency quoted the statement from the department.
There are no signs of editing in these video recordings.
In addition, examinations were conducted as part of the investigation. "During the study, the expert accurately transcribed the recordings from the surveillance cameras installed in the de-escalation room No. 6, and fully restored the sequence of actions taken during Georgy Davitadze's personal search. According to the expert's conclusion, the presented video recordings did not capture any actions aimed at applying violence against Georgy Davitadze. Furthermore, there are no signs of editing in these video recordings. Thus, the specified conclusion unequivocally excludes the fact of criminal actions against Georgy Davitadze," the prosecutor's office stated.
Recall that on October 3, relatives of Georgy Davitadze held a protest near prison No. 6 in Rustavi. They demanded the release of the full version of the video recording, which, in their opinion, may confirm information about violence against the convict.
In 2012, on the eve of parliamentary elections, the then-opposition party "Georgian Dream" released video footage of torture and humiliation of prisoners in the Gldani prison. This caused mass protests in Georgia.
Mikheil Saakashvili, who was then the president of Georgia, dismissed the Minister of Corrections and removed prison staff from their positions, temporarily transferring their functions to police officers. Citing the released footage, representatives of the "Georgian Dream" repeatedly mentioned "the broom rape" as an example of human rights violations during Saakashvili's rule.
In 2016, the Georgian publication "Kronika Plus" published the full video recording, concluding that "there was no broom rape."
