Georgian police have detained 16 individuals across the country on charges of membership in a radical fascist (neo-Nazi) group, including 10 minors, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) announced. The announcement was made at a briefing by Vazha Siradze, Director of the Tbilisi Police Department. Siradze claimed that the detainees physically and psychologically abused people of various ages. The group openly identified itself as neo-Nazi and operated under a fascist ideology. “In order to expand their influence and gain notoriety, the members of the violent group demonstrated radical hostility toward their victims. They acted with particular cruelty against those who did not share their ideology,” Siradze said. He added that videos documenting the acts of violence were circulated on social media. More than 10 people have been identified as victims, including four minors.
