If he is not a politician, he can not be considered a political prisoner

"Nobody who is not a politician can be a political prisoner, it is a simple axiom," said Irakli Kobakhidze, the Chairman of the Georgian Dream, regarding the detention of Giorgi Rurua, one of the founders of the Mtavari Channel.

The ruling team has a new message box regarding Giorgi Rurua.

"Can a person be called a journalist when he does not carry out any activity in journalism? When a person does not declare himself a politician, how can we speak about political imprisonment ?!", said another "Dream" MP, Aluda Ghudushauri.

According to Giorgi Rurua's lawyer Dimitri Sadzaglishvili, "very little conscience and brain cells are needed to know that a person can be a political prisoner even if he is not a politician."

"A political prisoner is a person who is persecuted by the government because he opposes, criticizes the government. Another utopian lie we heard from the government yesterday was that he allegedly bought a share in the" Mtavari Channel "for 2,500 and how he could have become the founder of the company. for 2,500 GEL In fact, his made investments in the company which eventually amounted to $ 500,000," said Dimitri Sadzaglishvili.
