The situation in front of the Administration of the Government of Georgia, where the opposition is holding a rally, has tensed after the United National Movement (UNM) member Levan Khabeishvili attempted to spray the message ‘free Misha’ in solidarity of the former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili on the square in front of the administration building.

The UNM head Nika Melia, who confronted the police head Vazha Siradze during the rally, blamed the police for being 'guilty before the people.'
The protesters demand Saakashvili’s transfer to a civil hospital, his release from prison, and the annulment of the 2021 municipal elections results, based on which the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party won 63 out of 64 mayoral constituencies and received 47% of the vote in the proportional part of the race.

Saakashvili, who was arrested in Tbilisi on October 1 after a clandestine return from eight years in political exile, considers himself a ‘political prisoner’ and claims to be on a hunger strike.
The former president was transferred to Gldani Prison No.18 hospital to ‘prevent deterioration in his health due to increased risks,' the penitentiary service reported this evening.
