The fifth President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili held a briefing following a meeting of the Resistance Platform. According to Zourabichvili, the discussion focused on two key issues: the initiative of the families of prisoners and the recent statements from the international community, particularly regarding sanctions on judicial officials.
Zourabichvili stated that the Resistance Platform expresses solidarity with the parents of prisoners. She emphasized that their main objectives remain unchanged: preparing for new elections and advocating for the release of what she described as "prisoners of conscience."
"I must also emphasize that this topic of prisoners of conscience, their situation, torture, and ill-treatment is our constant topic with foreign partners, both in the format of separate parties and now through coordinated efforts," Zourabichvili said.
She also pointed to the international community's response, describing it as a significant development. "This has already yielded results, and yesterday was a very strong blow to the ruling party, the regime. There were harsh and serious reactions from different quarters," she noted.
Zourabichvili highlighted Britain's recent decision to impose sanctions on Georgia's judicial system for the first time, calling it a noteworthy moment.
"These statements, this reaction of our partners, is already one step towards victory. This is how we are moving towards elections, this is how we are moving towards the collapse of the regime. This is a difficult and long path, which, in terms of our coordination, is the only path that will lead us to the end," she stated.
