"Mamuka Khazaradze is exercising and doing well – we discussed issues related to continuing the legal battle," said Zviad Kordzadze, lawyer of Mamuka Khazaradze, one of the leaders of Lelo – For Strong Georgia, after visiting the opposition leader today at Rustavi’s No. 12 penitentiary facility.

This is the fate of agents when they are tasked with directly opposing their own country’s national interests, stated Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze in response to a statement made by Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili at the Parliament’s Temporary Investigative Commission, where she noted that “Tina Bokuchava and others mention that the suspension of visa-free travel is one of the things they expect to be used against Georgia.”
