Activists in Tbilisi held a rally in defense of Zinovkina.

Protesters in Tbilisi, gathered outside the office of Public Defender Levan Ioseliani, asked for help for a Russian woman. They stated that no one is paying attention to Anastasia Zinovkina, who has spinal problems and needs treatment at a clinic.

As reported by Kavkazsky Knot, Anastasia Zinovkina, convicted in a drug case in Georgia, has been transferred to a cell with video surveillance, but she is not receiving medical care. Activists intend to demand that the Public Defender transfer her to a clinic. Artem Gribul and Anton Chechin ended their hunger strike in support of Anastasia, which they had previously declared due to her lack of medical care.

Protesters gathered today at the rally stated that the Public Defender's Office should, at a minimum, state its position regarding the actions being taken against Zinovkina. "Do what is your responsibility. Anastasia Zinovkina is a victim of torture. What they are subjecting Anastasia to falls outside any moral, ethical, or legal framework. What's stopping you from taking this person to a clinic and providing them with the necessary assistance?" "This is hell," TV Pirveli reported.

"This is hell. She is a personal prisoner of the regime. Our government puppets are torturing her, and it's horrific. We need many people to speak out for this torture to stop. The woman lay on the floor for so long, screaming, and no one came to her aid," said a protester.

Levan Ioseliani did not meet with the protesters; activists were told he was not in his office. However, they were promised a meeting with a representative of the office overseeing criminal investigations, the TV company added.

Representatives of the third sector held a briefing today, declaring that Anton Chechin, Anastasia Zinovkina, and Artyom Gribul were victims of politicized justice in Georgia. According to NGOs, any objective court would have released them right out of the courtroom, Interpressnews reported today.

The organizations noted that, when considering the cases, the judges relied solely on the testimony of police officers and interpreters, whose objectivity was questioned, since the agency that hired the interpreters had financial ties to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the interpreters themselves were acquainted with the police witnesses.

The Tbilisi City Court's verdicts, in which three Russian participants in pro-European protests were sentenced to 8.5 years for "purchasing and possessing drugs," are a clear example of Russian influence and politicized justice, human rights activists said.

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