After the unfulfilled ‘peaceful revolution’ of 4 October, Georgia’s anti-government movement continues amidst debate, repression, and uncertainty.
The restrictions apply to five organisers charged with calling for a violent change of constitutional order.
Whatever the truth of the 4 October events, they have given Georgian Dream the perfect pretext to finish its repressive crackdown.
The total number of detainees following Saturday’s events has reached 36.
Among those the prominent pro-government Georgian media outlet Imedi cited was Glenn Diesen, a contributor to the Russian state-run agency RT.
The remarks came days after an attempt to storm the Presidential Palace.
According to the Interior Ministry, these detentions are the ‘first stage’.
