Batumi Events - Judge left Irakli Chkhvirkaia and Merab Ghoghoberidze in custody

Irakli Chkhvirkaia and Merab Ghoghoberidze detained for organizing the confrontation in Batumi will remain in custody.

The judge of the Batumi City Court did not satisfy the defense`s motion about the bail as a preventive measure.

The prosecution requested detainees to be kept in detention.

"We have fixed the position regarding the removal of the preventive measure. Our position was quite thorough, the court made the right decision when the preventive measure was not changed, "said the prosecutor Pridon Kartsivadze.

The decision of the judge was followed by the noise in the courtroom. The detainees and the family members of the detainees protested the detention. Gogoberidze`s lawyer assesses the decision as a violation of the Criminal Procedure Code.
