For years, the activity of Leyla Yunus provoked anger, jealousy and irritation not only at the authorities, but also at a number of other human rights defenders, and even part of the public.
She is too emotional, inconsistent, irrational and categorical. These were the assessments of Leyla Yunus, who periodically gave rise to evil tongues for her harsh statements and actions.

As the ending of this persecution, she was accused of working for the enemy intelligence, sentenced to prison and doomed to harassment there...
For a human rights defender it is hard to be a diplomat. This is confirmed by the fate of a number of former human rights activists, who in recent years were critics of the authorities, but today successfully cooperate with them, give comments in their defense and praise the government reforms...

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life.
