Journalists and supporters gathered outside Rustavi No. 5 Penitentiary Facility to show solidarity with Mzia Amaghlobeli on her birthday on Monday, May 12.
Colleagues and friends of the founder of ‘Batumelebi’ and ‘Netgazeti’ arrived with chants of “Happy Birthday!” and “Freedom for Mzia, freedom for prisoners of conscience!” as they urged media and the public to call attention on her ongoing detention.
The crowd emphasized their demand for Amaghlobeli’s release and larger concerns over press freedom and political imprisonment in Georgia.
