In Georgia, Aglomel, the founder of Netgazeti and Batumelebi, was sentenced to two years in prison during protest.
This was reported about the publication “Echo of the Caudasus”.
It was noted that she was reassessed: instead of the article “attacking a police officer or other government”, it was found guilty of “resistance, threat or violence regarding the order to protect a person or other representative of the authorities”.
The previously charged charge was imprisoned for a period of four to seven years, the new article provides for an accurate restriction of freedom up to three years or imprisonment within two to five. Nevertheless, the judge of the City Court Batum Nino Sakelashvili appointed a real imprisonment.
The judge’s decisions were met near the court building with protest and screams: “Slaves!”
The lawyers of the journalist will appeal the verdict in the court of appeal.
Amaglobly was detained administratively during the pro -European actions in Batum on January 11, 2025. A few hours after his release, she was revised in a criminal case. She was accused of “attacking a policeman” after she, according to the investigation, struck the cheek of the Batumiy police chief Irakli Jabadze.
Dibadze said in court that he felt pain after the blow, and his cheek turned red. In turn, Mri Amaglobly claims that it was he who offended her and spat on her face, after which she instinctively reacted.
The defense claims that there is no objective evidence of the journalist’s fault in this matter, and the prosecution is politically motivated.

International human rights and journalistic organizations described the detention and criminal prosecution of Amaglobel as part of the “great large -scale suppression of freedom of the media” in Georgia. They demanded the immediate liberation of the journalist and the removal of all charges.
On June 19, the European parliament adopted a resolution in most votes, which called for its “unconditional liberation” and condemned the “systematic attack of the ruling“ Georgian Dream ”on an independent media and civil society.”
