Police Officer Files Administrative Complaint Against Civic Activist Tako Gvilia Over Social Media Post

A patrol police officer of the Zugdidi Police Department, Nikoloz Thordia, has filed an administrative complaint against civic activist Tako Gvilia in connection with a post published on a social media platform. The officer alleges that the activist committed verbal insult in a public statement.

As Tako Gvilia wrote on social media, she was served with an administrative offense report several minutes earlier, which states that she published a public post on social media in which she allegedly verbally insulted police officer Nikoloz Thordia.

Tako Gvilia is not the first activist against whom Nikoloz Thordia has filed a complaint. In December 2025, the patrol police officer also filed an administrative complaint against Mariam Sichinava, a member of the political party Droa, alleging the use of the Megrelian word “lodos” (“fool”) in a social media post. Mariam Sichinava was subsequently subjected to an administrative fine of GEL 3,000.
