Georgian opposition figure Aleko Elisashvili is sentenced to 13 years in prison on terrorism-related charges, according to multiple reports. Both outlets say he faces an “attempted terrorism” allegation connected to an incident involving the courts. OC Media reports that Elisashvili does not deny attempting to set fire to the court premises, while his lawyers reject the terrorism characterization. JAMnews similarly states that Elisashvili is charged with attempted terrorism and that he receives a 13-year sentence. The reports present the core dispute as one of legal classification: the prosecution treats the conduct as terrorism-related, whereas the defense challenges that charge. The articles do not include additional details on the court’s reasoning beyond the disagreement over whether the act qualifies as terrorism. No information is provided in the excerpts about sentencing specifics such as charges under particular statutes, whether an appeal is filed, or the broader political context. The reports therefore converge on the outcome (13 years) and the central allegation (attempted terrorism linked to an attempt to set fire to court premises).
