Mzia Amaghlobeli was convicted in Batumi, Georgia, of violence against an official following protests that led to her detention. Initially charged with assault, she was found guilty of a lesser offense. Her lawyer argued that Amaghlobeli's reaction was emotional, given the chaotic circumstances of her arrest. Despite the verdict, the journalist thanked her supporters and encouraged her to continue her fight for freedom.
