Njega je policija lišila slobode, ali i pretukla, te je utvrđeno da je imao povrede po vratu i tijelu. Sada su se pojavili i uznemirujući snimci u kom se vidi tortura kroz koju je Zurab prošao. Nekoliko policajaca moralo je da skoči kako bi oborilo Datunašvilija na zemlju i na kraju su ga jedva savladali i lišili slobode.

Pored njega, bar još 15 osoba završilo je u bolnici.

Datunašvili je bio jedan od lidera masovnih protesta u Tbilisiju koji su počeli pošto je vlada Gruzije donijela odluku da suspenduje proces pridruživanja Evropskoj uniji do 2028. godine, piše Kurir.
