Mass protests against election results continue in Georgia
Protests against the results of the parliamentary elections continue in Tbilisi. Opposition supporters stayed another night in front of the Tbilisi State University. According to Georgian TG channels, the number of protesters was much larger than in previous days.
 
The police in Tbilisi again forced protesters out of Chavchavadze Avenue. A warning about the dispersal of the protest was given 15 minutes before the start. There were no clashes, the protesters moved to Melikishvili Avenue adjacent to Chavchavadze.
 
The international human rights organization Amnesty International commented on the dispersal of the tent camp in Tbilisi by the police.
A representative of the international NGO stated that the Georgian authorities must fully comply with their obligations to respect and protect the right to freedom of assembly.
 
“People have the right to peacefully protest without fear of violence, intimidation or illegal arrest. The police's heavy-handed response undermines these principles and demonstrates the current government's approach to respecting fundamental human rights," the human rights activist stressed.
