People gather to protest against the detention of Nika Melia, leader of Georgian opposition party United National Movement (UNM), in Tbilisi on Tuesday, February 23. The UNM chairman was detained earlier on Tuesday and stands accused of organising mass riots in Tbilisi in June 2019, when protesters tried to storm the country’s parliament. Melia has dismissed the charges as politically motivated.
