A question arose for me: does Murtaz Zodelava not deserve support from his team and friends?—this is what Anna Tsitlidze, a leader of the “National Movement,” writes on social media.

According to her, the leaders of the “Coalition for Change,” Nika Gvaramia and Nika Melia, released letters from prison in which not a word is said about their coalition leader, Murtaz Zodelava.

According to Anna Tsitlidze, Murtaz Zodelava sacrificed himself and faces 9 years in prison because he fought for what he believed in and dared to do what many could not.

“Murtaz Zodelava has been one of the leaders and members of the ‘Akhali’ coalition from the day of its founding until now.

He stood out with very sharp statements during the UNM’s internal processes; now, this has no significance for us, but it is a fact I note.

The man sacrificed himself and faces 9 years in prison. He fought for what he believed in and dared to do what many could not.

The coalition leaders Gvaramia/Melia issued statements today on October 4. I will not go into the content of the statements. Not a single word about Murta Zodelava, their closest friend and coalition leader.

In ‘Akhali,’ with rare exceptions, there is not a single interview about Murtaz Zodelava, and ‘Facebook posts’ either.

I have never silenced journalists from asking questions, regardless of whether I know the motives or not, or whether I like them or not.

Any journalist can ask even the most non-objective question - it is their right, and society itself draws the right conclusions. Therefore, asking a question should not surprise anyone. Even if unacceptable. Moreover, I do not tell anyone what to ask.

But a question arose for me: does Murtaz Zodelava not deserve support from his team and friends? Don’t you have this question? Or why is this not mentioned anywhere?” - writes Anna Tsitlidze.
