Georgian citizens continue to face the threat of detention for exercising their fundamental rights, according to a statement by the EU Delegation in Georgia.

The statement emphasizes that the detention of Mzia Amaghlobeli and Guram Murvanidze further undermines freedom of expression.

“All those unjustly detained must be released. The European Union calls for the protection of the right to a fair trial. Impunity cannot prevail,” the statement reads.
