Mamuka Khazaradze: My support for Zura in the fight against the Russian regime – Which will inevitably end in victory - Freedom for Japhara! Freedom for political prisoners! Fight to the end!
"Freedom for Japhara! Freedom for political prisoners! Fight to the end!" – writes Mamuka Khazaradze, leader of Lelo – For a Strong Georgia, on social media.
According to Khazaradze, Zurab Japaridze is a symbol of justice:
“Zura is a symbol of justice and friendship for me!
He has my full support in his fight against the Russian regime – a fight that will undoubtedly end in victory!
Freedom for Japhara! Freedom for political prisoners! Fight to the end!”
For context, Zurab “Girchi” Japaridze, a member of the Coalition for Change, had his previously imposed 20,000 GEL bail replaced with pre-trial detention.
This decision was made by Judge Irakli Shvangiradze of Tbilisi City Court, granting the prosecution's motion.
Japaridze was handcuffed inside the courtroom after the ruling.
