On November 24, de-facto Abkhaz MPs summoned 'interior minister' Dmitri Dbar, top prosecutor Adgur Agrba, and other security officials, citing growing worries about a "structural breakdown" in the law enforcement system and rising criminality in the occupied province. Earlier that morning, in western Gudauta municipality, before the heated discussions between authorities and opposition politicians, shots were fired towards microbus with passengers.

The special parliament session was called in response to an appeal by the People's Patriotic Union of Abkhazia, a new political platform formed on November 17 by nine opposition parties with the stated goal of combating "anti-national" projects carried out by current de-facto Abkhaz leader Aslan Bzhania's administration.

The Patriotic Union requested the meeting to discuss the September 30 brawl between war veterans and police officers, the suicide of a young man in police custody in Gagra, and the November 16 police operation against the deceased man's friends who were allegedly plotting the murder of Gagra police officers, which resulted in the death of one suspect and the injury of another.

Lasha Shamba, a leader of the opposition Aidgilara party, presented the Patriotic Union's message in the 'parliament,' noting the contentious September 30 shooting incident and the continuing investigation into deputies Garri Kokaia and Almaskhan Ardzinba's roles during and after the incident.

The death of Anri Ateiba, a 24-year-old man who died on September 14, a month after attempted suicide in a temporary detention facility in Gagra on August 12, was one of the two other incidents highlighted. Ateiba's mother said that police officers abused her son and drove him to commit suicide. On August 7, he was allegedly apprehended on charges of assaulting a Gagra district police official.

On November 16, following Ateiba's death, police attempted to apprehend the dead man's companions, Amir Ketia, 22, and Omar Khagush, 23, who were accused of plotting to murder police officers. The arrest resulted in a gunfight between police officers and two suspects, with Ketia being killed and Khagush getting injuries. The episode was dubbed "the apotheosis of widespread abuse of office, unprofessionalism, and impunity of workers of internal affairs agencies" by the opposition in their appeal.

The meeting's law enforcement authorities - 'interior minister' Dmitri Dbar, chief prosecutor Adgur Agrba, Sokhumi city prosecutor Alkhas Agumava, and security service head Robert Kiut – attempted to defend themselves against the allegations.

Prosecutor Agrba stated a criminal complaint has been filed against three police officers in Ateiba’s case. Speaking about the November 16 incident, he stressed that both Ketia and Khagush were armed and were the first to open fire on police, adding that prosecutors found no evidence of police misconduct.

Dbar renewed his apology to the veterans for the September 30 event, emphasising that he had been exonerated by the prosecution in the high-profile case.
