According to MP Aleko Elisashvili, the leader of the Citizens party, he is “well beaten" and has a fractured rib.

Elisashvili spoke to InterPressNews about the events that took place at the rally held last night near the government administration.

“We had a "constructive clashes” with the police. At that time, I ran into the head of the patrol police, Vazha Siradze, and under his direct guidance, several policemen dragged me to the office. During this fight, I fell down and they started to kick me. After such a "good" beating, I met Anzor Chubinidze and had a fierce conversation with him. After that, they put me and one of the arrested protesters in the car, and finally they took us to the Tsereteli Police Department. I was there for several hours. Then Levan Ioseliani also came and we left. Then I went to the clinic because my whole body hurt. I have so swollen my lip that I joked that I am the Chinese version of Angelina Jolie, and I have a broken rib. Now I'm at home, I feel relentless, and in any case, no to the Russian law," said Elisashvili.
