Revaz Kiknadze, who was arrested on charges of participating in group violence, has begun a hunger strike in solidarity with Mzia Amaghlobeli, the founder of "Batumelebi" and "Netgazet".

His lawyer, Guja Avsajanishvili, shared this information on Facebook.

Activist Revaz Kiknadze has been placed in pre-trial detention as a preventive measure in the case of organizing, leading, and participating in group violence.

It should be noted that Mzia Amaghlobeli herself has been on a hunger strike for two days. She was arrested on January 11 on charges of assaulting a police officer, and the Batumi City Court imposed pre-trial detention as a preventive measure in her case.
