There was a confrontation between the police and farmers in Marneuli. According to the farmers, they are having difficulty selling locally produced vegetables and are forced to sell their products at prices lower than the cost of production.

The participants in the demonstration tried to block the road as a sign of protest, which turned into clashes with law enforcement officers.

As the Ministry of Internal Affairs told InterpressNews, police officers detained 2 people at the demonstration under Article 173 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which implies disobedience to a lawful order or request of a law enforcement officer, military serviceman, employee of the State Protection Special Service, enforcement officer or employee of the Special Penitentiary Service or an equivalent person while performing their official duties.
