December 1, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The arrest of Belarusian national Ja\u016dhien Muravicki at a protest rally in Georgia has been confirmed, human rights defender Raman Ki\u015blak told Pozirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muravicki is in custody in the eastern town of Sighnaghi pending trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten foreigners, including a Belarusian national, were detained at the November 29 protest rally in Tbilisi, the Novosti-Gruzia<\/em> news agency reported earlier this week, citing the pro-government Imedi<\/em> television company. It identified the Belarusian as Ja\u016dhien Muravicki, born in 1999. The others are eight Russians and an American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent parliamentary elections in Georgia sparked widespread protests. The ruling Georgian Dream party claimed victory, but the opposition accused it of fraud and refused to recognize the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Georgian Dream, disregarding the opposition\u2019s boycott, convened parliament and approved a new government that put EU membership negotiations on hold. The moves have fueled mass protests across the country, with demonstrators demanding new elections and expressing their commitment to a European future for Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
