Aslan Bzhania, the so-called president of occupied Abkhazia, convened an emergency meeting of the Security Council, according to reports from Echo Kavkaza.

According to media reports, Bzhania called the meeting after the so-called opposition blocked the Gumista Bridge in occupied Abkhazia. Dimitri Kuchuberia, head of the so-called State Security Service, characterized the situation as a mass disorder.

“Security force leaders have implemented measures to prevent illegal actions,” stated a message from the so-called president’s administration.

The so-called Prosecutor General, Adgur Agrba, noted that on November 10, following an extraordinary session of the so-called parliament, five individuals engaged in illegal actions against an MP in the yard of the building, leading to their detention.

“Later, relatives of the detainees and representatives of the opposition attempted to forcefully enter the Abkhazian State Security Service building to demand the immediate release of those detained, which was thwarted by law enforcement,” Agrba elaborated.

Opposition representatives assert that the detentions were illegal.

Last night, protesters gathered at the State Security Service building and broke through the gate with a vehicle. Military equipment was deployed near the residence of the so-called president.

Subsequently, the de facto authorities of Georgia’s occupied region announced that the detainees would soon be released. In response, protesters reopened one of the three blocked bridges, the Kodori Bridge.

The protests were triggered by a draft “agreement on preferential conditions for Russian investments,” which the so-called parliament is scheduled to vote on. This agreement proposes exempting investors from customs duties, corporate property tax, and income tax for eight years while imposing a reduced value-added tax of 5%. Public opinion in occupied Abkhazia appears divided, with some expressing concerns that the project could negatively impact the economy and threaten the region’s security.
