Police detain youth members of United National Movement

Law enforcement officers have detained five members of the youth organization of the opposition party United National Movement (UNM) amid ongoing crackdowns in Georgia.

The arrests took place following a search conducted earlier at the organization’s office, where police reportedly confiscated various items. As of now, the reasons for the detentions have not been disclosed by authorities.

The incident has drawn criticism from opposition groups, who view the detentions and office raids as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. The UNM party has condemned the actions, accusing the government of using law enforcement to intimidate political activists.

This latest development comes amid heightened tensions in Georgia, where protests against the government continue to grow.

Demonstrators are demanding new elections and reforms, accusing the administration of authoritarian practices.
