The Zugdidi District Court imposed an administrative fine of GEL 1,750 on Zugdidi-based civic activist and street artist Rostom Zarandia for creating the “Megobari Act” geoglyph, following an administrative complaint lodged by the Environmental Supervision Service of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection.

The “Megobari Act” geoglyph is a 380-meter-long inscription created on agricultural land in western Georgia, near the coastal town of Anaklia. According to the activist’s explanation, the geoglyph was intended to draw the attention of the local and international public to the significance for Georgia of the “Megobari Act,” which has been initiated in the Senate. In connection with the same geoglyph, Rostom Zarandia had previously been subjected to an administrative fine of GEL 2,000 imposed by the Zugdidi City Hall.
