Irakli Kupradze - Ivanishvili's goal is to fill the basket with prisoners in the near future, which he will then trade only to protect his own mercantile interests - he will not escape personal responsibility

The court of Ivanishvili and Murusidze sentenced seven citizens of Georgia to imprisonment for 3 and 5 years, the seven citizens are victims of the provocation that the "Anti-Georgian Dream" and Ivanishvili planned - the only thing that scares Ivanishvili is his personal responsibility, which Ivanishvili cannot escape, - Irakli Kupradze, the Secretary General of Lelo-Strong Georgia, stated at the briefing, thus responding to the guilty verdict against 7 people in the case of the October 4 rally.

According to him, the "violent prosecutor's office" is carrying out Bidzina Ivanishvili's instructions.

Ivanishvili’s team is trying to pursue its own interests using medieval revenge methods. Its goal is to fill the basket of captives with prisoners, people, including academics, professional circles, builders, and patriotic citizens in the near future, which they will then trade only to protect their personal mercantile interests. Ivanishvili cares about nothing but the security of his own finances. While the entire Western world is built on the assumption that Ivanishvili, Murusidze’s court, and the prosecutor’s office, which is subordinate to him, are only doing Ivanishvili’s job, and the future forecast shows that personal responsibilities, including sanctions, are expected to be imposed on Ivanishvili, he is engaged in medieval revenge, buying captives, which is the most serious crime committed against Georgian citizens. The deprivation of liberty for these seven citizens, keeping them in prison, because they do not admit to the serious charges proposed by the prosecutor's office and the Murusidze court is Ivanishvili's task, which is being carried out, on the one hand, by the violent, criminal prosecutor's office, which has not investigated a single attack on Georgian citizens, the journalistic corps, or the civil sector, while at the same time, the Murusidze court puts the final seal on the lawlessness and violence that Ivanishvili's "Anti-Georgian Dream" legitimized. Full solidarity and support to all political prisoners," Irakli Kupradze declared.

According to him, the only option is to "expose Ivanishvili's regime."

“We have the only opportunity, through the unity of society and our active cooperation with Western partners, to expose Ivanishvili’s repressive regime and hold everyone accountable for the crimes that are taking place today, in courtrooms, in prosecutors’ offices. The only thing that scares Ivanishvili is his personal responsibility, which Ivanishvili cannot escape,” said Kupradze.
