Gigi Ugulava’s Lawyer Speaks Out
Opposition politician Gigi Ugulava is facing a court hearing. His lawyer, Irakli Abesadze, says that this has nothing to do with the law.
Abesadze believes that the process against Ugulava is political. He claims that hundreds of people will be fined without any individual evidence or assessment. This, according to Abesadze, is not justice but repression.
The lawyer argues that the goal of this process is to strengthen the government’s oppressive regime and cover up police crimes. He does not expect a fair trial and sees this as part of a larger political battle.
Ugulava’s court hearing is about to take place. He is being accused under Article 174 prima, Part 4 of the Administrative Offenses Code. The specific charge against him is that he artificially blocked the road on January 17 during a protest when there were not enough people to justify it.
