Tbilisi City Court set bail at GEL 30,000 for Giorgi Vashadze, leader of the opposition party Strategy Aghmashenebeli, who is charged with "sabotage" and "aiding a foreign country in hostile activities" in a case targeting 7 other opposition politicians.

Judge Mzia Garshaulishvili granted the prosecutor`s request for bail as a pretrial restraint. Vashadze said he will post the bail. The judge also granted an additional request from the prosecutor, ordering Vashadze to surrender his passport and ID and barring him from leaving the country.

The so-called "sabotage" case concerns 8 opposition leaders: former president Mikheil Saakashvili, Strategy Aghmashebeli`s Giorgi Vashadze, Ahali`s Nika Gvaramia and Nika Melia, Girchi-More Freedom`s Zurab Japaridze, Droa`s Elene Khoshtaria, Lelo for Georgia`s Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze. They are accused of "crimes committed against the state".
