Shalva Papuashvili: How seriously can we take it when Zelenskyy and Sandu, who have banned parties in their own countries, are telling us to withdraw the lawsuit? — And why is there no list of prisoners? Should Elisashvili be released? Is there a terrorist on that list?
Irakli Kupradze - Today we will discuss political strategies - we continue struggle and resistance, Lelo - Strong Georgia will be one of the main forces that will defeat Ivanishvili
Aleko Elisashvili - I was handcuffed behind my back for 4 hours during the arrest, they saw my hands in prison how i was bleeding, there were many similar cases, but where is the justice?
Levan Ioseliani: I have visited Aleko Elisashvili several times and will continue to do so - he is in good spirits, reading and writing a book on fortresses
Levan Ioseliani on visit to the 12th Penitentiary Institution: Most inmates I visited, except Mikheil Saakashvili, have restricted communication with the outside world - this concerns many and needs to be resolved
Aleko Elisashvili's lawyers - The statement of the Penitentiary Service is most likely aimed at discrediting the prisoner and directing the case in the wrong direction
Penitentiary Service: Aleko Elisashvili fully enjoys all rights granted to him - claims about lack of personal hygiene items and any “settlements” inside the facility are false
Aleko Elisashvili remains in custody
Grigol Gegelia: ALDE gave a very clear three-line response to the hysterical campaign led by Kobakhidze and Papuashvili, putting the pro-Russian regime in its place
Guram Macharashvili: ALDE, like the BBC, was forced to distance itself from Elisashvili’s actions – I can’t say they were ashamed, because shame has nothing to do with them
ALDE on Aleko Elisashvili’s case: Of course we do not justify these actions, just as we will never justify violence or the use of chemical weapons against peaceful protesters
Tazo Datunashvili: There is an old Tbilisi saying: ‘Even three men are a gang,’ and now that too becomes punishable; they say, ‘No one cares about 50 people,’ ‘Let them do whatever they want,’ and at the same time, they restrict standing on the sidewalk; they have hysterical, panicked fear — there is no other explanation
Aleko Elisashvili - I have never been a member of Lelo and especially not of ALDE, from where should they expel me? - I call on the Dream to distance itself from the chairman of the parliament who violates human rights
Shalva Papuashvili - Declaring a person exposed to be involved in a terrorist crime as a “comrade-in-arms” by a political party creates a serious legal and ethical problem
Salome Samadashvili: The request to ban ‘Lelo’ has already been filed; this regime needs no formal grounds to destroy pro-European political forces – I also assume they may additionally use Elisashvili’s case
Lawyer: In the strict-regime facility where Aleko Elisashvili is held, conditions are much worse - the equipment is rusty and damaged; Aleko has been banned from using the phone and from receiving visits
Irakli Kupradze: On Monday, the illegitimate Speaker of Parliament will come out and label us a terrorist party - start counting time not for us, but for yourselves, the ones who carried out a chemical attack on the Georgian people
Shalva Papuashvili - There is still time until Monday for ALDE and Lelo to at least formally avoid becoming a party collaborating with a terrorist
The South Caucasus: Strategic Autonomy Needed
Estonian Ambassador: I will be leaving Tbilisi later this week - Does my departure reflect the current state of relations between Georgia and Estonia? Of course it does - I cannot hide that
UAE’s Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem Al Hashimy - “We will leave no stone unturned to make sure that we do defend ourselves”
