The Special Tasks Department is a structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. Since September 2019, the Department has been headed by Zviad Kharazishvili. In 2024, the Department was involved in suspected electoral fraud in the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election and systematic violence against participants of the protests that followed the election and against journalists. Several members of the Department resigned in early December 2024 and international sanctions were invoked against Zviad Kharazishvili.
