Koshkadze Marine
On 12 October 1981, about 2,000 people gathered near the church in Mtskheta to protest against the reduction of Georgian language lessons in Georgian educational institutions. In connection with this demonstration, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, Tamriko Chkheidze and several other people were detained, but they were released the same day, although an investigation was launched into the case of "hooliganism". In the second half of January 1982, a trial was held for Tamriko and her friends Marine Koshkadze, Nana Kakakbadze, Marine Baghdavadze and Irakli Tsereteli. Before the trial, they were all free. The court found them guilty and sentenced them to 5 years of imprisonment each, but conditionally, i.e., leaving them free until their first violation of the law.
