Case Details

Onise Tskhadadze, a 28-year-old comedian, was arrested on 5 December 2024 in Terjola. The prosecution relies on a video showing him bending down and throwing objects. However, they failed to produce a single witness confirming anyone was harmed. There is no evidence he had any connection with other detainees. On 30 November, during the dispersal of a protest, Onise and his brother were beaten by law enforcement. No one was held responsible.

Defense Arguments

No witness confirming anyone was harmed. No evidence of connection with other detainees.

Procedural Issues

He and his brother were beaten during protest dispersal on November 30 — no accountability.
