In a disturbing incident captured on video, a man was brutally assaulted by a group of police officers as he sat in his car with his wife beside him. The incident occurred as the man up was driving up a street in central Tbilisi and encountered a police bus moving in the opposite direction on the one-way street. According to the witnesses to the incident, when the man allegedly refused to yield to the bus, several officers got out and physically assaulted him, relentlessly punching and kicking him, targeting his head. The man’s wife witnessed the brutal attack from the front seat of the car.
The Special Investigative Service said on May 11 that it had opened an investigation under Article 333 (3b) of the Criminal Code, which deals with exceeding official authority by using force or a weapon.
Amidst the relentless rallies against the Foreign Agents’ law there intensified cases of brutal physical attacks and intimidation, as well as an orchestrated campaign of terror against civil society activists, opposition politicians, people involved in protests, and, as recent incidents have shown, even anyone who happens to run into the police.
