The fact was very hard to watch. No one who saw the footage could remain indifferent, however, here is another important issue: the relevant service has reacted. This is another proof that we are all equal before the law. No one will be allowed to break the law and we will turn a blind eye to it, - the mayor of the capital, the secretary general of the Georgian Dream, Kakha Kaladze, told journalists, thus responding to the physical violence committed against two people by law enforcement officers in the so-called Kombinati settlement in Gori and the detention of 6 people.

In addition, when asked how he would assess the statements of the opposition, which "equated" the aforementioned fact with a systemic crime, Kaladze said that "systemic crime was happening until 2012".

"We remember what was happening, what the situation was in Georgia, what the attitude was towards people with different opinions. People see the difference well", - Kaladze said.

For information, in Gori, in the so-called Kombinati settlement, law enforcement officers physically assaulted two people - Papuna Lotsulashvili and his friend.

6 law enforcement officers have been detained in connection with the incident. They are charged under Article 333, Part 3, Subparagraph “b” of the Criminal Code, which implies abuse of official authority, committed with violence. The aforementioned act is punishable by imprisonment for a term of 5 to 8 years. In addition, an investigation has been initiated against Papuna Lotsulashvili under Article 353 of the Criminal Code, which implies violence against a police officer.
