Opposition Considers Zugdidi Court Decision Unfair

The united opposition considers the decision made by the Zugdidi Court to be insulting and unfair. Zugdidi Court sentenced people, who physically assaulted MPs and opposition leaders to twenty-day-imprisonment and fined them for 400 lari.

According to the opposition the Georgian Criminal Code envisages 6-12-year-imprisonment for people who physically assault an MP. On the background of facts when people are sentenced to-twenty-day-imprisonment for breaking traffic rules, the abovementioned decision seems irrelevant and illegal.

On October 28 the protest demonstration of opposition was overgrown into physical controversy.
One part of local population resisted the opposition leaders who had arrived from Tbilisi. During the conflict MPs Bezhan Gunava and Bidzina Gujabidze were physically assaulted.
