The article reports on the sentencing of Mzia Amaghlobeli, a Georgian journalist and activist, to two years in prison for inciting hatred against the government. The ruling Georgian Dream party is accused of using this case to silence pro-European voices.
The article quotes several reactions from domestic figures:
* Salome Zurabishvili, Georgia’s Fifth President, states that the regime is paralyzed and hiding behind delays, hoping to survive.
* Giorgi Gakharia, leader of the opposition party For Georgia, says Georgian Dream has crossed every political and legal red line long ago and passed the harshest verdict on itself.
* Tina Bokuchava, Chair of the Unity-UNM, describes Mzia Amaghlobeli as a proud, strong, patriotic Georgian woman who has already overthrown Bidzina Ivanishvili through her strength, resilience, determination, and struggle.
The article also mentions that Lelo/Strong Georgia promises the regime will be defeated, and Mzia Amaghlobeli will be free.
