Equality Institute Activists Jailed
Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 12 Jun.'07 / 21:08

Three activists from the human rights advocacy group, Equality Institute, were jailed for 25 days for hooliganism on June 12.

Police arrested Jaba Jishkariani, Davit Dalakishvili and Levan Gogichaishvili at a protest rally outside the General Prosecutor’s Office in Tbilisi. They had been writing graffiti on the pavement.

The rally was held to protest the jailing of opposition politician Irakli Batiashvili, who was sentenced to seven years in prison last month for his links to a coup attempt the previous year.
