Officers of Gori Police Division have detained a fourth individual in connection with the case of damaging the office of the United National Movement opposition party in eastern city of Gori.
Police found that the detainee, identified only as T.M. (born in 1994) damaged windows of the UNM office with accomplices.
Police have already detained three other individuals, identified only as G.K., G.B., and T.A. in connection with the case.
The incident took part on March 2.
The detainees broke the windows of the office.
The opposition party says that the office has been attacked six times so far by different individuals.
The crime is punishable up to three years in prison.
Two individuals have been arrested for damaging the United National Movement opposition party office in Gori.
Foreign diplomats and politicians have expressed concern over the special operation of Georgian police which stormed the United National Movement office this morning to arrest its chair Nika Melia.
Nika Melia will be the next chair of the United National Movement (UNM) based on the results of the opposition party polls. The UNM launched an online poll on December 21 following Grigol Vashadze’s resignation.
Public Defender Nino Lomjaria said the large scale rally organized by the opposition United National Movement in Batumi yesterday was ‘completely irresponsible’ amid the coronavirus pandemic. Lomjaria also stated that thousands of people should not be allowed to gather without wearing face masks and violate social distancing rules.
