Judge Manuchar Tsatsua of Tbilisi City Court found civil activist Marine Zhvania liable for an administrative offence for standing on the sidewalk and issued her a verbal warning.

Marine Zhvania stated that she had indeed been standing near Parliament and protesting, but had not created any obstruction for passers-by. She did not consider herself liable for an administrative offence.
