Though not one of the opposition leaders convicted to this point held workplace within the earlier Georgian authorities, they have been summoned to testify and prosecuted for refusing.
All 4 — Mamuka Khazaradze, Badri Japaridze, Zurab Japaridze and Giorgi Vashadze — obtained seven to eight months in jail and two-year bans from holding public workplace.
Kallas mentioned Monday that the EU was contemplating sanctions in opposition to the judges who imposed these sentences and that it’ll revisit the difficulty in July.
“We stand prepared to think about additional restrictive measures on those that are accountable,” Kallas mentioned.
Extra opposition leaders are awaiting their sentences for refusing to testify. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze mentioned Monday that everybody defying parliamentary summons “will go to jail.”
