I exclude that this case is related to any ongoing cases against Nika, because the court has not ordered any preventive measure, pre-trial detention, in any of them, - said Giorgi Kondakhashvili, the lawyer of one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, Nika Melia.

According to Giorgi Kondakhashvili, it is possible that he was detained on fabricated administrative charges in order to ensure that he is brought to trial tomorrow.

"He was on his way to participate in a program in the area surrounding Lake Lisi. He was stopped by a patrol police crew and then, without any explanation, several police officers, including criminal police officers, forcibly detained him and took him to an unknown destination without any explanation. It is unclear what this is related to, because no preventive measure has been ordered for him and I do not know what his detention is related to. He was actually kidnapped. They acted aggressively and without explanation," Giorgi Kondakhashvili told TV Pirveli.
