The court released Eva Shashiashvili on bail.

The Tbilisi City Court agreed to release Eva Shashiashvili, arrested in connection with the storming of the presidential palace, on bail.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot, Eva Shashiashvili was one of 13 people charged on October 7 by the prosecutor's office under Articles 19-22 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (attempted seizure of an object of strategic or special significance, punishable by imprisonment for 2 to 4 years) and Article 225 (participation in group violence, punishable by imprisonment for 6 to 9 years).

The Tbilisi City Court changed Eva Shashiashvili's pretrial detention to bail of 5,000 lari (approximately $1,855). By court order, Shashiashvili will be released from the Rustavi Women's Penitentiary today, InterPressNews reports.

The prosecutor's office filed a motion to change her pretrial detention after the defense provided documents regarding the detainee's health, the agency writes.

As a reminder, those detained in the case of the storming of the presidential palace include five protest leaders 1 . They have been arrested on charges of organizing group violence, calling for the overthrow of the government, and attempting to seize the presidential palace. They face up to nine years in prison; all five refused to plead guilty.

The attempt to seize the presidential palace was doomed to failure and gave the current government a new opportunity to pressure the opposition. The only chance for a peaceful change of power remains if the opposition overcomes its disunity, analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated.

Municipal elections were held in all municipalities of Georgia on October 4. Candidates from the ruling Georgian Dream were elected mayor in all 64 cities where elections were held, receiving 100% of the vote in 26 of them. These elections will determine the political balance in Georgia for the coming years, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Municipal Elections in Georgia on October 4, 2025".

The "Caucasian Knot" has compiled materials about the recent municipal elections and protests by opposition supporters on the thematic page "Georgia: Post-Election Protests".
