The Ministry of Internal Affairs reports that 13 participants of a solidarity march for imprisoned Mate Devidze were detained in Tbilisi on November 19 under the Administrative Offenses Code of Georgia.
MIA says the detainees disobeyed lawful police orders and verbally insulted officers while they were performing their duties.
“We call on citizens to refrain from unlawful actions. Otherwise, the Ministry will act within its legal mandate, identify all offenders, and take appropriate measures as prescribed by law,” the statement reads.
The march began near the first building of Tbilisi State University, after which several protesters were detained on Melikishvili and Kakabadze Streets.
