Nika Gvaramia, a prominent opposition figure and co-leader of the Akhali party, received an eight-month prison sentence for not cooperating with an investigation. He is also banned from holding office for two years. This sentencing reflects a broader campaign by the ruling Georgian Dream party against critics, following multiple imprisonments of opposition leaders. The British government criticized this crackdown, emphasizing the need for Georgia to respect democracy and protect human rights. Amnesty International expressed concern over the use of state powers to silence dissent and the implications for freedoms in the country.
Gvaramia's sentence is part of a wider campaign against dissent, reflecting a crackdown on critics of the ruling Georgian Dream party, intensifying fears over democracy in Georgia.
The British government condemned the sentencing of opposition figures and warned of further actions if Georgia fails to uphold democracy, freedoms, and human rights.
