Свабоду грузінскай журналістцы Мзіі Амаглабелі! Заява праваабарончых арганізацый
Журналісты, рэдакцыі, абаронцы свабоды прэсы, праваабаронцы, журналісцкія арганізацыі і прадстаўнікі ЕС заклікаюць улады Грузіі неадкладна вызваліць Мзію Амаглабелі, якая трымала галадоўку на працягу пяці тыдняў з моманту арышту ў пачатку студзеня.

11 студзеня падчас падаўлення ўрадам прадэмакратычных пратэстаў спадарыня Мзія была арыштавана па непрапарцыйным абвінавачанням у нападзе на паліцэйскага пасля сваркі з начальнікам паліцыі ў Батумі — абвінавачанне прадугледжвае да сямі гадоў пазбаўлення волі. З тых часоў яе несправядліва ўтрымлівалі ў папярэднім зняволенні, дзе яна вырашыла адмовіцца ад ежы на знак пратэсту супраць дрэннага абыходжання з ёй і супраць больш шырокіх рэпрэсій у Грузіі.
18 лютага Мзія абвясціла пра спыненні галадоўкі пасля таго, як лекары папярэдзілі, што яе жыццю існуе непасрэдная пагроза.
4 лютага Мзію перавялі ў бальніцу, дзе лекары папярэдзілі, што ў яе хутка стане недастатковасць органаў. Суд па пераглядзе меры стрымання Мзіі прызначаны на 4 сакавіка.
Мзію чакае доўгая рэабілітацыя, каб аднавіць здароўе, і яе нельга вяртаць у турму.
Спадарыня Мзія з’яўляецца заснавальніцай і дырэктаркай Batumelebi і Netgazeti, двух самых папулярных і паважаных інтэрнэт-парталаў навін Грузіі, якія асвятляюць карупцыю і злоўжыванні ўладай. На працягу сваёй кар’еры Мзія дэманстравала ўзорную мужнасць і непахісную прыхільнасць абароне дэмакратычных каштоўнасцяў, свабоды прэсы і правоў журналістаў.
Арышт Мзіі адбыўся падчас жорсткага падаўлення дэмакратычных пратэстаў і эскалацыі нападаў на незалежных журналістаў.
Са сваёй турэмнай камеры Мзія даслала наступнае паведамленне:
«Гэтыя працэсы разгортваюцца на працягу апошняга года і ўкараняюцца ў наша паўсядзённае жыццё ў якасці дыктатуры. Свабода значна даражэйшая за жыццё, і яна пастаўлена на карту. Змагайцеся, пакуль не позна […] Я не схілюся перад гэтым рэжымам. Я не буду гуляць па яго правілах».
Улады Грузіі павінны неадкладна вызваліць Мзію, зняць з яе непрапарцыйныя абвінавачванні і правесці незалежнае расследаванне абвінавачанняў у жорсткім абыходжанні з ёй. Мы падтрымліваем Мзію Амаглабелі, яе калег з Batumelebi і Netgazeti, а таксама ўсіх незалежных журналістаў Грузіі.
Гэтую заяву ініцыяваў Міжнародны інстытут прэсы (IPI), глабальная сетка рэдактараў, кіраўнікоў СМІ і вядучых журналістаў.
