A prominent Georgian journalist was convicted on Wednesday of slapping a senior police officer during an anti-government protest and sentenced to two years in prison in a case that was condemned by rights groups as curbing press freedom.

According to Associated Press Mzia Amaghlobeli, who founded two of Georgia’s independent media outlets, was convicted in the coastal city of Batumi.

She was initially charged with assault, an offense that carried a maximum prison sentence of up to seven years.

The judge found her guilty on the lighter charge of resistance, threats or violence against a defender of the public order or other government official.

The case is one of many to draw protests and international criticism in recent months as the ruling Georgian Dream party faces accusations of eroding civil society and democratic rights in the South Caucasus nation.

A visibly gaunt Amaghlobeli heard the verdict in the Batumi City Court packed with journalists and supporters, while a protest was held outside the courthouse.

Sporadic chants of “Free Mzia!” broke out both outside the courthouse and in the courtroom.

She was arrested Jan. 12, one of over 50 people taken into custody on criminal charges from a series of demonstrations in the country of 3.7 million.

Video shared by Georgian media outlets showed Amaghlobeli striking Police Chief Irakli Dgebuadze.

Amaghlobeli said after she was detained, Dgebuadze spat at her and tried to attack her.

Her lawyer told the court she reacted emotionally after getting caught in a stampede, falling, and witnessing the arrest of those close to her.

She also said a police investigation was not impartial and she did not receive a fair trial.
