The Kutaisi Court of Appeal has once again rejected the appeal in the case of journalist Mzia Amaglobeli, the founder of the Batumelebi and Netgazeti media outlets.
As explained by the court, the appeal filed by the lawyers representing Mzia Amaglobeli – Maia Mtsariashvili, Jumber Katamadze, and Razhden Khimshiashvili – against the February 14, 2025, ruling of the Batumi City Court was deemed inadmissible.
This time, the human rights defenders once again requested the cancellation of the City Court’s decision and a change to the pre-detention measure.
The Court of Appeal has rejected the case for the second time.
Mzia Amaglobeli, who was arrested on charges of assaulting a police officer after slapping Batumi Police Chief Irakli Dgebuadze, decided to end her hunger strike on the 38th day. She had been on a hunger strike since her arrest.
