The leader of the “Coalition for Change,” Nika Gvaramia, has been released from prison. The opposition politician left Rustavi Penitentiary Facility No. 12 today, February 12, after serving an eight-month sentence.

As a reminder, on July 1, 2025, Gvaramia was sentenced to eight months in prison for failing to appear before a temporary investigative commission of Parliament. He was charged under Article 349 of the Criminal Code, which concerns “failure to comply with the request of a temporary investigative commission of the Parliament of Georgia.”

As a preventive measure, Gvaramia had been ordered to pay bail of 30,000 GEL, which he did not pay within the legally established deadline. After the deadline expired, the bail was replaced with imprisonment. He did not attend the court hearing and voluntarily appeared at Rustavi prison.
