Putin's puppet Ivanishvili increasingly resembles his master. There is no way back; an international tribunal awaits. This time, security forces conducted searches in the offices of opposition parties and the homes of activists. Among those detained are the leader of the "Coalition for Change" political force, Nika Gvaramia, and his associate Gela Hasaya. As Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili warned, opposition members will have to flee the country from the criminal regime to avoid ending up in prison.

On Wednesday, December 4, police conducted searches in the offices of opposition political parties and activists' homes, detaining protesters. Specifically, Ministry of Internal Affairs officers raided the offices of the "National Movement," "Gorchi-Droa," "Nova" parties, as well as the apartment of the administrator of the popular Facebook group Daitove. This group has become a key platform for coordinating protests and supporting demonstrators.

Among those detained are the leader of the Coalition for Change, Nika Gvaramia, and his associate Gela Hasaya. Hasaya's arrest was reportedly quite harsh. It is also known that Gvaramia attempted to question the police officers about their legal grounds for the raid but received no response. Later, it was reported that Nika Gvaramia had been transferred to a temporary detention facility in Marneuli.

The administrator of the Daitove group, Ilia Glonti, also faced pressure from law enforcement. The community, which has over 200,000 members, actively supports protesters by organizing volunteer aid. Previously, it coordinated the arrival of people from the regions to Tbilisi during protests against the controversial foreign agents law.

Amid these events, protests organized by women are taking place near police departments in various cities across the country. They are appealing to the police to act with humanity and refuse to carry out criminal orders.

"We call on all police officers, if they are Georgians, if they are men, and if they have even a drop of dignity, to stand against our oppressors and the oppressors of our children," a protest statement reads.

Additionally, human rights activists from the "Young Lawyers Association" demand that the Ministry of Internal Affairs disclose the composition of substances used during protest dispersals. Protesters injured by water cannons report chemical burns, and doctors need precise information to provide proper treatment.

The situation in Georgia remains tense. For over a week, the country has seen mass protests following the government's decision to suspend negotiations on EU membership. These protests flared up again after demonstrations against the results of the parliamentary elections.
