2012-08-08 On August 2012, father of Levan Taboridze, supporter of the coalition Georgian Dream who currently resides in Belgium, was visited by Malkhaz Barnovi, chief of Shida Kartli regional police, and threatened that his family would lose a house if his son does not come to his senses. Levan Taboridze believes the incident had to do with his active participation in protest rallies held by immigrants – e.g. on June 28, 2012, outside the Renaissance Brussels Hotel where President Mikheil Saakashvili was holding a meeting, and on July 15, 2012, outside the EU headquarters.
