Netgazeti journalist Keti Khutsishvili provided CMIS with information regarding two fines issued against her. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) fined Khutsishvili a total of 10,000 GEL for “artificially blocking the road”—the first instance occurring on April 2, 2025, and the second on June 13, 2025. The journalist has appealed both fines, which are currently under review.

Keti Khutsishvili was performing her professional duties at the time the fines were issued.

CMIS is documenting cases of journalists who have been fined or administratively detained on the grounds of “artificially blocking the road.”
