Media experts assess the Rustavi2 trial and openly state that the government is suppressing free media preparing for falsifying elections.

"Those statements expressed both by politicians and non-politicians that nothing is threatening Rustavi 2 before elections are spread intentionally to calm us down as I have a suspicion. We do not have the right to relax , we will go out on the streets, protect the freedom of speech with all available means because it is of vital importance for the entire country"s population that Rustavi 2 continues functioning, as very soon the elections are coming and if we want these elections to be legitimate, there must be one independent TV anyway, " Ninia Kakabadze said.

Media expert Nino Danelia, said that the government goes va bank, because it does not have a chance to win the elections in a democratic environment.
