A representative of the OSCE on Freedom of the Media, Dunja Mijatovic, has criticized the decision on complete seizure of the property of the Georgian TV channel Rustavi-2, adopted by Tbilisi City Court on the suit of the former owner of the television station, businessman Kibar Khalvashi, as excessive and disproportionate.
"The injunction may negatively affect the ability of Rustavi-2 to work independently and freely,’’ Sputnik-Georgia cites Mijatovic.
