Zinovkina complained about her condition worsening

Anastasia Zinovkina, accused of drug trafficking, complained of severe back pain, she can not sit. Activists at the protest in Tbilisi called on the Georgian ombudsman to visit her.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, Russian citizens Artem Gribul and Anastasia Zinovkina, who participated in the protests in Tbilisi, were arrested on charges of drug trafficking. In court, they stated that evidence was planted on them, and that the security forces resorted to threats. At a hearing in April, during the interrogation of a police officer, Gribul held a piece of paper with the inscription: "He planted drugs in my pockets." At a hearing in late June, the owner of the apartment where the Russians were staying told the court that the security forces were not constantly in sight during the search. On July 21, Gribul and Russian Anton Chechin, arrested in a similar case, announced a dry hunger strike in prison, which lasted three days. One of the demands was to improve the conditions of detention of Zinovkina, who suffers from problems with her spine and vision, and to provide her with normal nutrition. Georgian border guards refused to let Anastasia's mother into the country.

Anastasia Zinovkina cannot sit and write letters due to severe back pain, Nikolai Kavkazsky (listed as a foreign agent in Russia) reported on his Telegram channel.

The participants of yesterday's march in Tbilisi expressed support for political prisoners, Russians, Anastasia Zinovkina and Artem Gribul. It was stated that they do not admit guilt, and the prosecutor's office accuses them of possession of drugs in especially large quantities, while there are no neutral witnesses in the case, Tbilisi Life writes.

Anastasia can only stand or lie down (on a bunk without a mattress), and she is not provided with the necessary medical care. Activists called on the ombudsman to visit Anastasia.

The report also says that Zinovkina asked TV channels to cover her trial and attend court hearings - for example, following the last hearing on August 7, not a single media outlet made even a short note, many other equally important trials were taking place that day.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in December 2024, a court in Tbilisi remanded in custody resuscitator Georgy Akhobadze, who, like Russians Zinovkina, Gribul and Chechin, was detained after a protest and accused of drug possession. Akhobadze refused to admit guilt and stated that the drugs were planted on him by security forces. On August 6, the courtfound him not guilty and released him from custody.

"Caucasian Knot" published a report "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protesters in Georgia". The Caucasian Knot collected materials about the parliamentary elections and the protests that followed them on the page "Elections in Georgia-2024".
