Beka Korshia, a journalist and anchor for the Mtavari Arkhi, a participant in large-scale pro-European demonstrations, was administratively detained on the ninth night of the protest.
Friends and relatives say that the TV presenter disappeared from the rally on Rustaveli Avenue and his detention had more of the appearance of a kidnapping.
Later, it became known that he had been taken to the pre-detention center in Tbilisi and had no visible injuries.
Large-scale protests against the halt of the EU integration negotiations by the Georgian Dream continue throughout Georgia. Dozens of journalists, civil activists and opposition leaders have been attacked and arrested, including Mtavari Arkhi founder, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change and co-chairman of the Ahali party Nika Gvaramia, who was sentenced to 12 days of administrative detention.
