Judges should understand that their decision affects the future of the country - Dito Sadzaglishvili

The trial of Mtavari Channel CEO Nika Gvaramia will soon begin. At today's hearing, the parties will make closing arguments.

The defense's closing statement will draw attention to the fact that the Mtavari Channel CEO did not commit a crime and is in prison for political reasons.

The lawyer of Nika Gvaramia says his release affects the European future of the country.

"It is clear that Nika Gvaramia is a political prisoner. First of all it is clear, including for our strategic partners in the West, first of all the European Union and the USA, because we remember very well the reaction of the European Union to the arrest of Nika Gvaramia.

We are sure that the court will have to make a decision under political pressure, they just have to understand that they are not deciding the fate of freedom of one person but their decision affects the freedom of this country and the European future, so their name will remain in the history and but how - depends on them," - said Dito Sadzaglishvili.
