**Opposition Leader Mamuka Khazaradze Remains in High Spirits**
Mamuka Khazaradze, a key leader of the opposition party Lelo – For Strong Georgia, is doing well despite his recent imprisonment. According to his lawyer, Zviad Kordzadze, who visited him at Rustavi’s No. 12 penitentiary facility, Khazaradze remains in good spirits and continues to exercise regularly.
“We discussed matters concerning the continuation of the legal struggle we are engaged in,” Kordzadze said, indicating that Khazaradze is still committed to fighting for his cause. The lawyer also stated that Khazaradze’s mood and spirit remain unchanged, despite the challenges he faces.
**Background on the Case**
For context, Khazaradze and another leader of Lelo – For Strong Georgia, Badri Japaridze, were found guilty in June of failing to comply with a summons from the parliamentary temporary investigative commission. They were sentenced to 8 months of imprisonment and barred from holding public office for 2 years.
**Implications**
The recent developments highlight the ongoing struggle between the opposition and the ruling party in Georgia. The imprisonment of Khazaradze and Japaridze has been seen by many as a move to silence them, rather than address the issues they have raised. However, their continued commitment to fighting for their cause suggests that the opposition is not giving up.
