Tbilisi Court Judge Tornike Kochkiani fined Iranian activist Mohammad Reza Kamraninejad 4,000 lari for disobeying a police officer's lawful order at a solidarity rally with Iran in Tbilisi.

As reported by Kavkazsky Knot, Iranian citizens in Tbilisi thanked Trump and Netanyahu for the strikes on Iran at a rally outside the country's embassy. They greeted the news of Ayatollah Khamenei's death with song and dance.

On February 5, near the Iranian Embassy, police detained an Iranian activist who frequently attended solidarity rallies with Iran in Tbilisi. He was charged under Article 173, Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which implies disobeying a lawful order from a police officer, Pirveli TV reported today.

A video published by the Tbilisi Life Telegram channel shows a police officer repeatedly demanding that Kamraninejad cross the road from the Iranian Embassy. The activist responded that he did not understand Georgian and needed a translator. Afterwards, a police officer spoke to him in English, but when the activist said he was waiting for a friend, he was suddenly detained.

"He was standing in front of the embassy. Most importantly, he did not restrict the freedom of movement of other citizens... It is important that when the police arrived on the scene, a language barrier arose, and he did not understand what they were pointing at... The video recording shows that he did not resist the police...," said Kamraninejad's lawyer, Mariam Maghradze.

Ultimately, a Tbilisi court fined Iranian activist Mohammad Reza Kamraninejad 4,000 lari, finding him guilty of disobeying a lawful order from a police officer, the television network reports.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the Georgian State Security Service summoned four people for questioning in connection with the statements about Al-Mustafa International University. The investigation was launched against the backdrop of attacks by representatives of the Georgian Dream party on the authors of a study on Iranian influence in Georgia.
