Police officers tried to seize the phone of investigative journalist Keti Tutberidze while she was filming an arrest during an anti-government protest on election day in Tbilisi. “Near Orbeliani Square, special forces went after two citizens to detain them, one of whom was Irakli Tulaia. I was filming when two criminal police officers rushed at me, shouting, grabbed at my hands, and tried to snatch my phone. I was practically saved by my two colleagues, Nino Tverava and Nino Shubitidze. Of course, one of my colleagues captured the entire incident on camera. Don’t go anywhere alone,” Tutberidze wrote on social media.
