Human rights defender Natia Tavberidze posted on Facebook that the bedridden mother of an individual detained at one of the protests has died.

‘Yesterday, a person who was a victim/detained at one of the protests came to us. This person was arrested, everything was taken away, and they [law enforcement officers] didn’t let them call anywhere. However, they were the only caregiver for their bedridden, sick mother. The mother died’, she posted.
