On October 4, 2025, during a large-scale protest in Tbilisi, two criminal police officers attempted to interfere with Studio Monitor journalist Keti Tutberidze’s work and seize her phone.

The incident occurred when the journalist was trying to film the arrest of citizens. “Squad units rushed to Orbeliani Square to arrest two citizens, one of whom was Irakli Tsulaia. “I was filming and two criminal police officers rushed at me, screaming, grabbing my hand and trying to take my phone,” Tutberidze wrote in a post.
