Tbilisi City Court has convicted Lazare Grigoriadis of attacking a police officer and arson during the March 2023 protests against Georgia’s draft foraging agent law.
Grigoriadis has been sentenced to nine years in prison. His lawyer, Lika Bitadze, has said that they will appeal the sentence.
Lazare Grigoriadis was the first person to be detained for their participation in the foreign agent law protests in March 2023, with ruling Georgian Dream party figures commenting on his appearance and ‘orientation’ in the months that followed his arrest. His sentencing arrives as the ruling party revives the controversial foreign agent law, to widespread local and international criticism.
