The Court of Appeals upheld on July 2 the ruling of a lower court imposing a GEL 30,000 bail on MP Nika Melia of the opposition United National Movement.
Melia will also have to wear an ankle bracelet, a satellite device that defendants under house arrest are required to wear.
On June 27, Tbilisi City Court rejected prosecution motion for pre-trial detention and demanded Nika Melia to post a GEL 30,000 bail.
The decision followed the Prosecutors Office’s request, charging the MP for inciting and heading mass violence on the night of June 20-21 outside the Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue.
