Politically at this time, making such a decision that could have been postponed was not expedient - Zurabishvili on Gvaramia

President Salome Zurabishvili spoke about Nika Gavramia's arrest on Palitra.

She said she would not comment on the court's decision, but his political arrest was the wrong move.

"It's a court decision, and I don't have the right to evaluate the court's decision. As president, I am not at liberty to express doubts about the court. Politically, at this time, making such a decision, which could have been postponed in various ways, politically I think is improper. I won't say anything about the content of the court's decision. We know there were other versions of the verdict than what was received, but I can't comment on that."
