Tbilisi. The Coalition for Independent and Transparent Judiciary would like to comment on the guilty verdict delivered against Mr. Nika Gvaramia, director of Mtavari TV.
"The ruling represents another concerning example of pressure exerted on critical media organizations, raising questions regarding the legitimacy of the ruling and showing signs of selective and politicized justice.
The flawed administration of justice, which significantly affects and degrades the existing media environment and standards of protection of human rights and freedoms in general, further aggravates the political crisis and deepens the polarization in the country. At the same time, it fails to ensure stable democratic development and has a negative impact on the ongoing crucial processes of European integration”.
