Tensions in Georgia are rising following days of pro-European protests, with police raiding opposition offices and arresting critics. Prominent opposition figure Nika Gwaramija was reportedly beaten and unconscious when taken by police. The government’s actions have raised accusations of political repression, which Prime Minister Irakli Kobachidse denies, claiming they are necessary for ‘prevention’. The unrest follows disputed parliamentary elections and has intensified since Kobachidse’s comments over EU accession negotiations.
