Today, a panel of judges at the Court of Appeals rejected the defense's motion to re-examine witness interpreters in the case of Anastasia Zinovkina and Artem Gribul, who participated in protests in Tbilisi. The defense questioned the professional integrity of the translators.
The protesters held signs reading: "Freedom for Anastasia Zinovkina, freedom for the prisoner of conscience," "Freedom for Zviad Tsetskhladze."
Today, it was announced that a criminal case has been opened against Baya Margishvili, an active participant in the protests. This information was also confirmed to the publication by a public advocate. The case presumably concerns an incident that occurred during the hearing of the activist's administrative case on November 7, 2025.
On November 7, 2025, Judge Zviad Tsekvava heard Baya Margishvili's case for blocking a road. During the hearing, Baya Margishvili tore up the case materials and threw them on the judge's desk. Tsekvava fined her 200 lari and expelled her from the courtroom, later sentencing her to 14 days in prison. Baya Margishvili was arrested in the courtyard. Article 366 of the Georgian Criminal Code, which pertains to contempt of court, carries a prison sentence of up to two years, a fine, or correctional labor, the publication clarifies.
