During the trial of eleven demonstrators charged with group violence at the Tbilisi City Court, Irakli Gvelesiani, an investigator from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was questioned. Gvelesiani testified that he reviewed footage recorded by MIA press service videographers and was able to identify the defendants, Ruslan Sivakov and Sergey Kukharchuk. According to Gvelesiani, one of the defendants moved a barrier, while the other set fire to an object.
