A criminal case against Irakli Khufeniya has been submitted to the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don. The Georgian citizen was an active participant in the protests in his country and a member of the opposition party "United National Movement".

Earli Khufeniya arrived in Russia. He was detained at the "Upper Lars" checkpoint. A court in Vladikavkaz sentenced him to arrest twice under a protocol on petty hooliganism. After that, the oppositionist was accused of calling for terrorism on the Internet (Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code).

Georgian media wrote that Khufeniya was detained for statements in support of Georgians who are fighting on the side of the Ukrainian army. He published posts on social networks calling for a protest against the current authorities in Tbilisi.
