Representatives of the youth wing of the opposition United National Movement (UNM) party attempted to place a metal cage in front of the Adjara government building in Batumi that led to the verbal conflict with the police.

The UNM members said the cage symbolizes jailed ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili.

“Mikheil Saakashvili is in the Russian prison. We call on the government to release him. Otherwise, people will open his prison cell the same way we opened the door of this cage here,” said Aleksandre Varshalomidze, UNM member.

The police removed the cage from the territory.

Law enforcers arrested Mikheil Saakashvili in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on October 1. He has been on a hunger strike since the very first day of his arrest.
