“Elene Khoshtaria spent an entire year behind bars. This is not an exception, but a method — imprison everyone who openly says that Ivanishvili’s government serves Moscow,” Rasa Jukneviciene, the European Parliament’s standing rapporteur on Georgia, wrote on social media.

“365 days in prison for two words written on a poster. This is what Georgian Dream calls justice. Elene Khoshtaria spent an entire year behind bars.

This is not an exception, but a method — imprison everyone who openly says that Ivanishvili’s government serves Moscow.

Freedom for Elene!” Jukneviciene wrote.
