Employee of the Special Tasks Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Levan Imerlishvili, who was detained yesterday for possible abuse of power during the rally dispersal on Rustaveli Avenue on June 20, has been sent to pre-trial detention.
Tbilisi City Court denied his lawyer’s motion to set bail.
The detainee has opted to use his right to silence.
A video released by the Georgian Chief Prosecutor’s Office depicts how the detainee shot rubber bullets at demonstrators.
Two law enforcers have been charged so far for abuse of power by police during the rally, while 12 demonstrators have been charged with violence against law enforcers on the same day.
