Tbilisi City Court fined each of three members of the "November 7" opposition youth movement to the amount of 500 lari ($1 = 1.68 lari).

Irakli Kordzaia, Villas Tsaguria and Jaba Jishkariani were arrested on Rustaveli Avenue last night, where they organized a procession with banners depicting young people killed by police in different periods.

They were arrested due to accusation of resisting the police. They were fined in the amount of 500 lari. After paying this money, they were released.

Detainees stated that they simply organized a procession. They did not resist the police.

However, the court rejected their arguments.
