Deutsche Welle - Zelimkhan Khangoshvili's family asks for protection

Deutsche Welle reports that the family of Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, a Georgian national killed in Berlin, is asking for protection. According to the same source, the request was noted in a letter sent by the family to the lawyers.

"We ask on behalf of those who have not received the protection among us yet, to provide them with it in Germany and Sweden. Unfortunately, we realized last year that the Russian persecution fears, because of which we left our homeland, were justified", - stated the family.

Khangoshvili's family also welcomed the German Prosecutor's decision to indict the suspect after the "thorough investigation".

"The investigation has revealed that our father, brother and husband was killed as a result of Russian authorities' order", - it is said in the letter.
