The court proceedings against journalist Mzia Amaglobeli have concluded in Batumi.
The founder of the publications Batumelebi and Netgazeti has been sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment.
For context: the judge reclassified the charge and issued the prison sentence under Article 353, Part 1 of the Criminal Code, instead of Article 353^1.
Previously, Amaglobeli had been charged with “assaulting a law enforcement officer” — an offense punishable by 4 to 7 years in prison.
