The injured individuals have been assisted by paramedics at the scene. UNM head Nika Melia reported that one person had received head trauma.

They threw two stones from the roof and hit one person in the head. Protectors of criminals, aren’t you ashamed? What if this stone killed someone? Melia said.

The UNM members and supporters demand the transfer of the imprisoned former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili to a private clinic from a prison hospital, his eventual release from prison, and the annulment of the 2021 municipal election results.

The opposition asserts that the rallies will not stop until all their demands are fulfilled by the government.
