Pardoned Activist Denis Kulanin Leaves Georgia for Third Country Under Five-Year Re-Entry Ban

Russian-born Navalny campaign volunteer Denis Kulanin departed Tbilisi International Airport on a flight to a third country after the Sept. 4 court ruling barred his deportation to Russia; the same ruling imposed a five-year ban on his re-entering Georgia. His lawyer, Tsiala Ratiani, released footage confirming the departure, closing out a standoff that began when migration officials tried to expel him days after a presidential pardon.
