Georgia's government jailed an opposition leader amid a crackdown on dissent, sparking concerns about democracy and human rights.
Japaridze is one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, which came in second in a parliamentary election in 2024.
Opposition parties, including the Coalition for Change, are boycotting the current legislature amid accusations that the ruling Georgian Dream party rigged the vote in October.
Japaridze had refused to appear at an inquiry into alleged crimes committed between 2004 and 2012, during the term of ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili, who has since been jailed.
