Georgian authorities launch criminal investigation following unrest in Tbilisi

05 October 2025 00:32

Authorities in Georgia have launched a criminal investigation following unrest in Tbilisi, with cases opened under four articles of the Criminal Code, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Alexander Darakhvelidze announced at a briefing.

The investigation concerns:

  • Incitement to violent changes of the constitutional order or to the overthrow of state power;

  • Organisation of group violence, including leadership or participation;

  • Seizure or blocking of broadcasting or communications institutions, or other strategic or specially significant facilities;

  • Damage to or destruction of property.

The unrest occurred alongside the municipal elections in Tbilisi. According to reports, a portion of demonstrators, responding to organisers’ calls, moved from Rustaveli Avenue to the Presidential Palace on Atoneli Street, where clashes began.

Special forces intervened, dispersing protesters with tear gas and water cannons. Barricades were erected on nearby streets using equipment from local bars and restaurants. Several direct confrontations were reported.

At least 14 police officers were injured during the unrest, one of them in serious condition.
