On January 16, the Public Defender of Georgia applied to the Court of Appeal of Kutaisi with the opinion of a friend of the court (Amicus Curiae) on the issue of the application of a preventive measure against Mzia Amaglobeli. The document talks about the flaws in the justification of imprisonment used as a deterrent measure, and in the light of the analysis of legal standards, it is considered that such an intense restriction of a person's freedom based only on abstract and potential threats is not allowed.
