Lika Lortkipanidze has been sentenced to 12 days of administrative detention by the court. The Ministry of Internal Affairs accused her of insulting politician Mariam Lashkhi. The case was heard by Judge Davit Tetrauli.

According to her lawyer, Mikheil Tataradze, who spoke to Publika, Lortkipanidze did not commit any offense.

Ruling party (Georgian Dream) MP Mariam Lashkhi filed a complaint against three female activists following an incident on May 17. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is seeking administrative detention for two of them and a fine for the third.

The incident took place in a café where Lashkhi was present with companions, including children. Activists entered the venue chanting: “Freedom to the regime’s prisoners, no to the Russian regime, no to Russia’s servants… down with the servants of Russia.”

According to a February amendment to the Administrative Offenses Code, insulting a public or political official is now punishable by a fine of 1,500 to 4,000 GEL or up to 45 days of administrative detention.

Tatia Andguladze, Surgeon-Implantologist, on whether Irakli Dgebuadze could have felt pain after Mzia Amaghlobeli’s slap:

“The most important thing at that moment should have been a facial expression indicating pain; the patient [referring to Irakli Dgebuadze] should have instinctively reached toward the painful area.

I manage pain on a daily basis and have extensive experience in this. I can say with full confidence and without hesitation that in this case, pain was not perceived.”
