The Georgian Prosecutor's Office accused the opposition television channel TV Pirveli of spreading "further disinformation" after airing a report about Tamar Bezhuashvili, the prosecutor in the case of the attempted storming of the presidential palace. The office stated that this is the second time in the past six weeks that the channel has produced material related to the business activities of the prosecutor's father and is "completely unfoundedly" attempting to link it to her professional work.
A court in Bishkek found a native of Chechnya, Mansur Movlaev, guilty of illegally crossing the border and decided to expel him from Kyrgyzstan. The man has repeatedly stated that he faces torture and death in the Russian Federation.
As lawyer Bakyt Avtandil noted, he and his client requested a maximum sentence of two years, but the court appointed six months. For now, Movlaev remains on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, since the appeal ruling will be challenged in cassation.
27-year-old Mansur Movlaev flew to Kyrgyzstan in August and was detained by employees of the country's State Committee for National Security. Previously, he was put on the federal wanted list in Russia.
In 2020, Mansur Movlaev was sentenced to three years on charges of financing extremism. Human rights activists claim that he was persecuted for criticizing the Chechen authorities and speaking out against human rights violations and repression. In 2022, the man was released on parole, but he was detained by security forces in Chechnya. Movlaev escaped and managed to reach Kyrgyzstan illegally.
