**Young Georgian Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison Amid Unrest**
The party Gakharia for Georgia has spoken out against the verdict handed down today against Mate Devidze, a 21-year-old young man who was detained during protests. According to the statement released by the party, Devidze has been sentenced to 4 years in prison.
This verdict comes at a time when many young Georgians are feeling disillusioned with the country’s justice system. The party claims that due to “injustice, inequality, hopelessness and violence,” young people are leaving Georgia in search of better opportunities elsewhere.
**A System Failing its Youth**
The statement highlights the stark contrast between the treatment of protesters like Devidze and those responsible for violent attacks on them. While masked thugs who brutally beat up young people and journalists on live TV have not been punished, innocent youth are being unfairly detained. This sends a worrying signal that the system is failing to protect its citizens.
**A Call for Accountability**
Gakharia for Georgia is calling for accountability from those in power. The party statement demands that “all political prisoners will definitely be released and all perpetrators will definitely be punished.” It’s a bold message, one that echoes the hopes of many Georgians who are seeking justice and reform.
**Supporting Devidze and his Family**
The party has expressed solidarity with Mate Devidze and his family, calling for his freedom. As the statement reads: “Freedom to Mate Devidze! Solidarity and endurance to his family.” It’s a powerful reminder that even in difficult times, there are people who care about justice and human rights.
