**Georgian State Security Service Warns of Planned Violence Ahead of Inauguration**
The Georgian State Security Service has issued a statement saying that its investigation into the “violent overthrow of power” has revealed a plot to use extreme violence, including the sacrifice of 2-3 people, to disrupt the inauguration of the new president.
**Background: Elections and Protests**
The country is currently in turmoil after the announcement that Bidzina Ivanishvili’s party, Georgian Dream, will hold elections on December 14. The opposition has refused to take part in the process, citing concerns over legitimacy. Protests have been happening in Tbilisi for the past 12 days, with hundreds of people arrested and many beaten by police.
**Security Service Statement**
The security service says that a group of domestic actors is planning to use violent acts to artificially boost the protest charge and overthrow the government. They claim that the organizers plan to prevent the election of the new president on December 14 and are preparing for maximum tension this week, including the sacrifice of 2-3 people.
**Warning from Security Service**
The security service is warning citizens to be vigilant and not to take part in or become victims of the planned violence. They are asking people to record any suspicious situations or attempts at provocation and report them to law enforcement bodies.
