👮‍♀️The Georgian Interior Ministry is distributing a statement about today's opposition rally in Tbilisi.
According to the police statement, the blocking of embankments in the capital planned today from 15 to 17 o’clock is aimed at radicalizing the political situation and the emergence of clashes between protesters and law enforcement agencies. The Ministry of Internal Affairs recalls Article 226 of the Criminal Code, according to which the organization of public riots with overlap is punishable by imprisonment up to 3 years.
❗️The police in their statement reminds that any violations of the law will be immediately stopped, an immediate reaction will follow, and the participants will be detained.
⚖️ A new hearing on the case of ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili begins in the Tbilisi City Court.
The so-called "case of jackets" is being considered. The politician is accused of embezzling public funds for personal needs. We are talking about the amount of 8.8 million lari ($2.8 million). According to the prosecutor's office, this amount implies the payment of Saakashvili's expenses for rest in hotels and resorts, visits to cosmetology clinics and the purchase of clothes. The list includes seven jackets and a cashmere sports coat purchased in London in the amount of 28.6 thousand dollars, as well as two handmade suits in the amount of 4.6 thousand dollars.
❗️The ex-president will not be brought to the courtroom again. According to the penitentiary service, this was done due to the deterioration of the politician's health and due to security concerns. Last time, following the events of the 2007 protests, the hearing was postponed to November 29.

According to German Ambassador Hubert Knirsch, his country was ready to send vaccines to Georgia (including single-phase Johnson & Johnson), but the need for it did not arise, as many in Georgia refuse to do it.

❗️ According to the head of the Tbilisi Infectious Diseases Hospital Tengiz Tsertsvadze, the epidemiological situation in Georgia is very difficult and it is impossible to fix it in the near future.
There are three factors of deterioration:
📍Low vaccination rate;
📍Low level of mask wearing;
📍Mass rallies and demonstrations.
🙈📗 The situation with QR codes and covid passports in Georgia is a bit confused.
As the head of the interdepartmental headquarters Gibradze reported yesterday, in connection with the transition to European certification and recognition of local documents on vaccinations in the EU, for traveling abroad, certificates will have to be updated. In this regard, many questions have arisen. The House of Justice in Tbilisi and Batumi, for example, could not start issuing new documents today.
📲 Georgia e-Health mobile app, rolled out so far only on iOS. There are other inaccuracies, for example, in the certificate format itself there are fields for first and last names in the local language, but in fact they did the opposite.
❗️I am sure that in the next two or three days we will be able to get answers to all the questions about certificates. If you want to try to find out for yourself, you can call the hotline 144 or the Ministry of Health with the number 1505 for now, although they don't know much there either. I'm clarifying everything and will definitely let you know.
