By 2007, Imedi had become the primary opposition broadcaster. On November 7, 2007, government forces violently dispersed protests led by a coalition that included Imedi’s owner. Police raided Imedi’s headquarters, shut down its broadcast, and seized equipment — an event widely condemned by international watchdogs (Freedom House, 2008). The raid marked a turning point: Patarkatsishvili fled to London, and the channel returned to air under government pressure, albeit with a more cautious editorial stance.
