Mikhail Saakashvili, the former Georgian president and ex-governor of Ukraine’s Odessa who now leads the Ukrainian opposition Movement of New Forces, has been detained in Kiev, according to TASS.

On Tuesday morning, officers of the Special Security Service (SBU) Alpha unit broke into the opposition figure’s apartment. Saakashvili’s supporters insisted that the authorities’ actions were illegal and called to allow lawyers to the scene. The law enforcement agents claimed they acted in line with the law.
