Tbilisi City Court set bail at GEL 30,000 (about USD 11,000) for Nika Gvaramia, leader of the opposition Ahali party, in a criminal case in which he, along with several other major opposition leaders, faces years in prison on “sabotage” charges.
The bail came almost two weeks after his release from prison, where he served eight months for defying the controversial Tsulukiani Commission of the Georgian Dream-dominated Parliament.
Gvaramia, like other opposition leaders granted bail as a pretrial restraint, was also barred from leaving Georgia and had his passport confiscated. All other opposition leaders, including Giorgi Vashadze and Zurab Japaridze, who received the same amount, and Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze, who were set at GEL 1 million (about USD 370,000) each, posted bail.
