After a briefing at the Georgian Interior Ministry, Deputy Foreign Minister Kakha Sabanadze stated that police did not use gas against protesters during a protest near the Central Electoral Commission building.

“There is misinformation about gas. The police did not use gas. I want everyone to take into account that such misinformation is inappropriate,” Kakha Sabanadze said.
