🗣️ “This case has no connection to law or justice — neither to the qualification of the prosecutor’s charges nor to Judge Sakhelashvili’s verdict. My imprisonment is a political decision of the regime,” said Mzia Amaglobeli.

Protesters lay outside the #COP30 climate summit in Brazil covered in white sheets, to call attention to the deaths of activists and journalists killed while "defending land, territories and natural resources."

🗣️ "Fight before it's too late. Freedom is more valuable than life itself," - Mzia continues to stand for what she has called for! She is still standing, standing high, refusing to take a sit, to bow the regime, to reconcile with injustice!

I am so incredibly proud of this woman! She embodies a graceful, unbroken, and principled fight for justice. We must remember to "fight before it’s too late" for freedoms that should never be taken for granted.

🔴 Georgia’s imprisoned journalist & #SakharovPrize2025 laureate Mzia Amaglobeli was brought to the Kutaisi Court of Appeals.

🟥 Today the court begins hearing her case: the defense seeks to overturn her 2-year sentence, while prosecutors demand 4–7 years for “attacking a police officer.”
