Four Activists Were Released from Detention Setting

July 8, 2009

Yesterday, four activists of opposition parties were released from the detention setting of the Tbilisi Police Department.

Kakha Beitrishvili and Kakha Iordanashvili from the youth branch of the New Rights, Mamuka Baliashvili from “Georgia’s Way” and Davit Patsatsia from the political movement “Why” were released.

Davit Patsatsia thanked to all media sources which impartially broadcasted the fact of their detention. He thanked to the Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia Ilia II and Father Giorgi. Patsatsia said Father Giorgi visited him in the detention setting and cheered him up.

During the detention Davit Patsatsia saw young people who were ruthlessly beaten on June 15. He said “Our struggle is fair and it will continue. Unprecedented fact of violence occurred on June 15 and we will not put up with it; we will defeat dictatorship and regime of Saakashvili.”

These people were detained during the incident near the Parliament building on June 12. However, Mamuka Baliashvili from “Georgia’s Way” said he did not take part in the incident. According to him, he was detained by men in civil uniforms; however he was accused of resistance to police. Baliashvili claims the men took away his ID and mobile phone during the detention and they have not given it back up to now.

Friends of the released activists, opposition representatives and members of the movement “Why” met the released activists at the building of Police Department.
