In Georgia, one of the leaders of the "Coalition for Change," Nika Gvaramia, has been transferred to a pre-trial detention center in Marneuli. The day before, he was detained by law enforcement.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing "Georgia Online."

According to media reports, today law enforcement conducted searches in the offices of the parties "Akhali," "Droa," "Girchi - More Freedom," as well as the opposition political force "Unity - National Movement."

During the searches, the founder of the opposition party "Akhali" and leader of the "Coalition for Change," Nik Gvaramia, along with activist Gela Khasaya, were detained.

According to Gvaramia's lawyer, Dito Sadaglishvili, information about his client's location was not disclosed by law enforcement. He also stated that physical violence occurred during Nika Gvaramia's detention.

"This was not disclosed by the OMON - the actions of the agency that calls itself police are worse than OMON," the lawyer stated.

Protests in Georgia

At the end of October, the pro-Russian party "Georgian Dream" won the parliamentary elections in Georgia. Following this, the country's president, Salome Zourabichvili, and the opposition declared violations during the elections and did not recognize them. They stated that the parliament is illegitimate and called for protests.

Initially, the demonstrations in Georgia were peaceful, but after the new government's decision to postpone EU accession talks until 2028, large-scale protests began in Tbilisi and other cities. As a result, law enforcement was deployed, using water cannons, tear gas, and conducting arrests.
