The citizen of Georgia, Lasha Abramishvili, who was released by Egyptian judiciary after the involvement of Georgian authorities in the criminal case, arrived in Georgia this morning. Family and friends greeted the former convict at the Tbilisi airport.
Abramishvili was sentenced to death by Egyptian law enforcers for killing a Bedouin, but the investigation found out afterwards, that Abramishvili and five other Georgian nationals were taken hostages by the Bedouin and that it was not a premeditated murder, but a repulse of an assault.
Thanks to Abramishvili`s bravery, five other Georgians managed to escape from the captivity, but Abramishvili was detained and sentenced to death. Later, the prosecutor lifted the charges of premeditated murder and the defendant was released. International Migration Organization assisted Georgian side to organize return of Georgian illegal immigrant from Egypt to Georgia.
