Lazare Grigoriadis, who was convicted of harming the health of police officers and destroying state property and was recently released from prison through an act of pardon released by President Salome Zurabishvili, was arrested at the rally against “Russian Law” in front of the parliament. Tamta Kalandadze, his mother, confirmed the information. Further details are unknown at this time.
After the adoption of the Russian law, the special forces started arresting the participants of the protest. In the direction of the Parliament, special forces moved from Freedom Square. They urge rally participants to disperse.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a statement that “the ongoing action in the vicinity of the legislative body exceeded the norms established by the assembly and demonstration law and took on a violent nature.”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs says the participants of the rally damaged the protective fences located in the vicinity of the Parliament building.
