Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia Shalva Papuashvili referred to 72 persons detained during the 2024–2025 protests and currently in custody as “prisoners of shamelessness.”

The Parliament Speaker published the statement on social media. He said that the detainees are victims of the politicians and organizers who pushed them toward radical actions, then failed to take responsibility for the situation that followed and abandoned them.

According to Papuashvili, the term that most accurately describes these people is “prisoners of shamelessness.”
