On the border with Abkhazia, members of the Georgian "Golos" (Vote) movement have held an action demanding to liberate doctor Vazha Gaprindashvili, convicted for violating the Georgian-South-Ossetian border.

Activists of the cycle rally organized by the "Golos" public movement have demanded the immediate release of Vazha Gaprindashvili. Activists unfolded flags of Georgia and the European Union and banners reading "Solidarity with the doctor", "Abkhazia-Georgia" and others.
