TBILISI. May 26 (Interfax) - The Tbilisi City Court has sentenced about 90 protesters of the opposition action dispersed last night to an administrative arrest of up to two months, Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili told a press briefing on Thursday.
"Criminal cases were opened over two fatal car knockdowns at the protest rally, but the organizers of those crimes were not seized by now," he said.
The police have evidence that some of the protest organizers were considering a possible change of administration through riots, Utiashvili said.
The Georgian Interior Ministry published an audio recording of a telephone conversation between opposition co-leader Nino Burjanadze and her son Anzor Bitsatse, who were discussing how many people might support the protests and saying that the Georgian Armed Forces would hardly take the opposition's side and the opposition would be able to handle the police Spetsnaz.
