Police Detained the Demonstrators in Terjola

On January 11 police dispersed a demonstration protesting the detention of so-called "legal thief" Zaza Ambroladze. The main road was blocked by the demonstration for several hours. Despite several warnings and demands by the police, the demonstrators refused to open the road. Police then dispersed the demonstration by force. Several demonstrators were detained, and four were charged with robbery.
According to police, the organizer of the action was the head of one of the organizations, human rights defender Lali Aftsiauri, who directed them from a nearby house using his cellular phone.
