This is the funeral of democracy in this country, not only of Lekso

We are burying not only Lekso today, we are burying our right to live, - Nika Gvaramia, CEO of the Mtavari Channel, talks about this at the civil funeral of Lekso Lashkarava.

This shot [the cameraman cordon] is a true symbol of this country. Compassion, love and respect. As for what happened, I really have nothing to say but a few words – Lekso was killed by the government and the memory of Lekso is now being insulted and trampled by the government, and they falsified everything.This, This is the country we live in and we are burying not only Lekso, we are burying our right to live, because the government has clearly told us not only do they restrict the freedom of expression, which today Tsulukiani and Shalva Ramishvili have decided, not only do they restrict the freedom of movement, they even restrict our right to live. The authorities told us that the right to live is not protected either. This is the funeral of democracy in this country, not just the funeral of Lekso, - says Nika Gvaramia.

At the moment, media representatives, members of the opposition, activists, citizens are attending the civil funeral of Lekso Lashkarava. They express solidarity with the deceased operator.
