Member of the regional organisation of Republican Party Ramin Abuladze has been physically assaulted by 5 masked strangers. Unidentified persons physically attacked Ramin Abuladze, a member of the Republican Party Gori Organization.

The victim reported abusers followed the orders of Giorgi Tatishvili, former single mandate candidate of the National Movement in Gori District. According to Abuladze, Giorgi Tatishvili had been exerting pressure and threats towards him in the late pre-election period. Mr. Abuladze also accuses law enforcement officers for their cooperation in the incident.
