March 7-9 protests activist Lazare Grigoriadis leaves jail after presidential pardon

Lazare Grigoriadis, an activist of the March 7-9 mass protests in Tbilisi against the foreign influence transparency bill, left the prison after President Salome Zourabichvili pardoned him today.

Lazare Grigoriadis was arrested on March 29, following March 7-9 mass protests in Tbilisi against the Foreign Influence Transparency bill.

Lazare was charged with throwing a Molotov Cocktail at law enforcers and burning a patrol police car and thus sentenced to nine years in prison.

On April 12, when the court ruled the judgement, the President said she pardoned Lazare Grigoriadis, but the pardon act was finally signed today.
