United National Movement member Levan Sanikidze was fined 5,000 GEL for blocking the road during protests on January 30 and February 1, Tbilisi City Court announced the decision on Wednesday.

As Sanikidze told journalists, he will not pay the fine. “They merged two instances, issued a decision, and fined me 5000 GEL instead of 10,000 GEL. Of course, I do not intend to pay this fee because I believe I did nothing criminal.”

“I am confident that the time will come when justice will be served in this courthouse, and we will no longer have to fight for the country’s freedom on Rustaveli Avenue or the release of political prisoners.”

Today I will remain on Rustaveli Avenue as previously. They will most likely summon me to court for today’s case in two months,” Sanikidze added.
