LONDON, England, Jan. 25 -- PEN International issued the following news on Jan. 24, 2025:
* * *
'Seven years in prison is a dangerously disproportionate response to veteran journalist Mzia Amaglobeli's altercation with a police officer. The Georgian authorities are clearly trying to make an example out of her as they continue to terrorize journalists, activists and critics who dare speak truth to power. She must be released at once'. Ma Thida, Chair of PE . . .
