This is a continuation of political persecution - Japaridze on expected termination of MP mandate

Of course, this is a continuation of the political persecution," says the Chairman of the Lelo faction Badri Japaridze about the Georgian Dream's decision to terminate his MP mandate.

According to Japaridze, the court decision in his case was a clear confirmation to him that the Dream is not going to stop political persecution against him.

"Of course this is continuation of political persecution, it has been going on for more than 3 years, we are calm, we are firm. In today's Georgia everything is expected, so this was expected as well, they had no intention to stop political persecution and that was felt in the decision written to the judge, therefore the political persecution will continue," said Badri Japaridze.
