Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II speaks about prisoners
28/9/2012
The Patriarchate of Georgia has released information about a meeting between Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia ll and students of the spiritual academy and other educational establishments. “Some say that people, who are torturing prisoners, are justifying themselves by saying that the prisoners are murderers. I warned Khatuna Kalmakhelidze several times not to torture prisoners and to be like a mother to them, but it seems it was not enough and they still continued to do terrible things. The person, which does this, has no justification. This is the greatest sin.
If people, who commit this terrible sin, do not repent, their offspring will be punished,” the Patriarch said at the meeting.”There are now new prisoners. I want to call on the government to release the prisoners and also sick ones, because it creates new resistance, new wave, new hostility,” the Patriarch said. (IPN)
