🗣️ “This case has no connection to law or justice — neither to the qualification of the prosecutor’s charges nor to Judge Sakhelashvili’s verdict. My imprisonment is a political decision of the regime,” said Mzia Amaglobeli. #FreeMzia #RepressionsInGeorgia #JournalismIsNotACrime

🗣️ "Fight before it's too late. Freedom is more valuable than life itself," - Mzia continues to stand for what she has called for! She is still standing, standing high, refusing to take a sit, to bow the regime, to reconcile with injustice! #FreeMzia #JournalismIsNotACrime #RepressionsInGeorgia

I am so incredibly proud of this woman! She embodies a graceful, unbroken, and principled fight for justice. We must remember to "fight before it’s too late" for freedoms that should never be taken for granted. #FreeMzia #JournalismIsNotACrime #Georgia

How likely is it that this would have happened if reps of the international community - diplomats or members of international organizations - had been present? It’s still a question. But one thing is certain: #FreeMzia needs continued support and constant reminders that the world is watching
