Salome Zurabishvili on Archil Museliants’ verdict: While the ruling party protects real criminals, loyal judges are imprisoning citizens – this is not justice, this is repression

When the ruling party protects real criminals while loyal judges imprison citizens, this is not justice—it is repression, said Georgia’s fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili, in response to the verdict against Archil Museliantsi.

“Terror in Georgia - Judge Giorgi Arevadze sentenced protester Archil Museliantsi to 4 years of imprisonment. He is the 14th activist detained since November 2024 following protests in support of the European Union.

When the ruling party shields real criminals while loyal judges imprison citizens, this is not justice - it is repression,” Zurabishvili wrote.
