MIA detains protestors near GD office, including one journalist
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has detained 12 people near the Georgian Dream office.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that the demonstrators, who are protesting against the brutal violence of July 5 and the inaction of the police, went beyond the law established by the right of assembly and expression.
“Once again we warn the organizers of the rally to ensure that the rally does not become violent and does not go beyond the norms allowed by law. Otherwise, the police will act in accordance with the law,” says the agency.
Activists threw red paint and eggs at the Georgian Dream office, where a large number of police officers were mobilized. They did not allow the activists to display posters and stencils with the inscription: Irakli Gharibashvili killed Lekso Lashkarava.
One of the 12 detainees is Irakli Absandze, a journalist of the Public Broadcaster, who was detained near the Georgian Dream office.
He went to the protest site on the spot. He wanted to go close to the Georgian Dream office but was not allowed to do so.
Police urged him to leave the area, however, Absandze did not obey this call, which led to his arrest.
He was surrounded by police in a T-shirt.
Irakli Absandze has been openly protesting against the actions of the government in recent days - the violence of July 5 and the statements made after the death of Lekso Lashkarava.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that the protesters, who are protesting against the brutal violence of July 5 and the inaction of the police, have exceeded the limits set by the law on the right of assembly and expression.
