Ever since Georgian Dream began physically preventing protesters from stepping onto Rustaveli Avenue—deploying swarms of police nightly—things have only become more interesting.

Despite now physically preventing protesters from blocking roads, Georgian police still have an appetite for arrests — especially of the elderly and youth. Tonight they detained 15-year-old Andria Khamashuridze while he was standing on the sidewalk.
