Wilson on Khoshtaria: Authoritarians Arrest People to Silence Them
Damon Wilson, president and chief executive of the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED), wrote on social media about the case of Elene Khoshtaria. According to him, the leader of the Georgian opposition was sentenced to 18 months in prison for writing "Georgian Dream" on an election banner.
According to Wilson, Khoshtaria was taken to a clinic in a wheelchair today. "Nevertheless, she declares: "I will fight to the end". Authoritarians arrest people in order to silence them. Elene reminds us why they are not succeeding in this", Wilson stated.
According to the same information, today names of political prisoners from various countries of the world will be read out at the Lincoln Memorial.
