Formula TV journalist Anamaria Gelitashvili was fined 5,000 GEL for “artificially blocking the road” on Rustaveli Avenue while performing her professional duties. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) informed her of the fine on June 17, 2025. She is being accused of obstructing the road during the protest held on May 6.

This is the second fine issued to Anamaria Gelitashvili by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The first fine has already been appealed, and the journalist intends to appeal the second one as well. She claims that in both cases she was carrying out her journalistic duties, and there is video evidence to support this.

Since November 28, 2024, according to publicly available information, 37 administrative fines have been issued against media representatives. The majority of these cases are still under review. So far, the court has found two journalists in violation of the law and ordered them to pay fines.
