Latvian Embassy on Zurab Japaridze's detention: Repressive actions against opposition contradict EU values

“Embassy of Latvia is deeply concerned about the detention of Zurab Japaridze. Repressive actions against the opposition directly contradict EU values!,” reads the statement of the Embassy of Latvia in Georgia on the X Platform.

On May 22, Zurab Japaridze, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, had his bail conditions replaced with imprisonment as a preventive measure.

This decision was made by Judge Irakli Shvangiradze of Tbilisi City Court. Japaridze was detained directly in the courtroom during the hearing.
