Giorgi Vashadze: We do not want to return to the issue of Melia's political imprisonment in the future, bail means temporary release from prison, so Melia's case will be resolved by amnesty

“We no longer want to return to the issue of Melia's political imprisonment in the future. Bail means temporary release from prison, but we know that a politically motivated justice will still send him back to prison, so Melia's case will be resolved by amnesty”, - Giorgi Vashadze, the leader of Strategy Builder, told reporters at the Rooms hotel, where a meeting was held between NGOs and political parties.

According to him, they agreed that they will have full coordination with the civil sector on all issues, be it amnesty, electoral reform or judicial reform.

When asked about Nika Melia’s case, he replied by saying:

“We no longer want to return to the issue of Melia's political imprisonment in the future. Bail means temporary release from prison, but we know that a politically motivated justice will still send him back to prison, so Melia's case will be resolved by amnesty. This was a principled position of our western partners”, Vashadze said.
