Actor Giorgi Chachanidze Injured During Protest
Actor Giorgi Chachanidze was hurt during a protest near the “Babylon” restaurant in Tbilisi. His lawyer, Veriko Gagua, visited him at the police department.
According to Gagua, Chachanidze did not break any rules. The police used too much force when they detained him. A video shows that Chachanidze was trying to help a girl who was being held by many police officers. When he tried to stop this, he was arrested and hurt.
Chachanidze has scratches on his hands, around his neck, and a headache. He also has blocked ears. The police helped him yesterday, and Gagua asked them to do it again today.
Nine people were detained during the protest at the “Babylon” restaurant. They were held under two articles in the law that say they did something wrong: they were being hooligans and disobeyed the police.
The protest started when judges arrived for a meeting at the restaurant. A corporate party was being held there, but many people got upset. The situation became tense several times, and many police officers came to the scene. Eventually, the judges left under police protection.
