Elene Khoshtaria congratulates Zurab Japaridze on his release from prison
Zurab Japaridze: How long they will allow us to remain outside is what matters - what we manage to do in that time - whether they will let us feel freedom and then expect us to fall silent, stop, or leave the country and not continue the struggle - this will not be accepted
Elene Khoshtaria: We are not bargaining chips - no one has the right to strike a deal against our will - This is not the time for bargaining or escape, but for attack and struggle!
Elene Khoshtaria - I remember the cynical faces of all the representatives of the Dream, all the propagandists, the justification of Gakharia, the arrests, the insults of injured people, and yesterday I saw how the truth celebrated in the Strasbourg court
Elene Khoshtaria: The regime secretly poisoned its own people and is now busy trying to save itself – After the crackdown on the ‘Russian Law’ protests, the cause of my body’s sudden collapse is still unknown; one of the doctors' hypotheses is intoxication
Elene Khoshtaria - The story of chemical poisoning reminds us of the evil we are dealing with - all evil regimes eventually explode on their own landmines, and so will the "Russian Dream"
Elene Khoshtaria: Regardless of violence and repression, the path of Georgia will be determined by people, not by a historical anomaly in the form of Dream - on the 28th of November, we will show that this year belongs to the struggle of people
Elene Khoshtaria: The so-called charge filed by the Prosecutor’s Office is exactly the case that I will be proud of for the rest of my life - I am proud that I had a modest contribution to the sanctioning of the "Russian Dream"
Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze granted bail of one million GEL each
Prosecutor: The individuals featured in the covert recordings include Khoshtaria and Zurab Japaridze, among others — the discussion concerns interest groups operating in Ukraine who are instructing them to spread false information, claiming that Georgia is violating sanctions
The Prosecutor's Office is requesting bail of one million lari each for Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze
Elene Khoshtaria: I will not recognize the nonsense we heard yesterday as a case – I will have no involvement with the so-called trial
Shalva Papuashvili on the new cases against opposition leaders: If they have any complaints and do not like the decisions of the judiciary, they can turn to the Strasbourg court – and even if they lose there, they will still have to apologize afterward!
Tazo Datunashvili: Bidzina Ivanishvili has resorted to a method well-known in Moscow - threatening the political spectrum with prison and decay behind bars is a logical continuation of establishing an evil dictatorship
Giorgi Baramidze on criminal prosecution of opposition leaders - Ivanishvili’s aim is to cut Georgia off from the Western world and exhaust the Georgian spirit - don’t let these traitors think the Georgian people will give up
The Tbilisi City Court is expected to deliberate today on the imposition of preventive measures against Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze
Joe Wilson: Even by Georgian Dream standards, the regime’s new politically motivated charges against opposition leaders are appalling
Rasa Juknevičienė: The GD regime is lashing out in total desperation - all those who have been charged with these fabricated charges are heroes not only of Georgia, but of all Europe
Ambassador of Korea Hyon Du KIM - Korea’s strength lies in high-tech manufacturing while Georgia’s strength is in logistics and service areas - Georgia should not be just considered as a single market but as a market that can encompass the region and beyond
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
