Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are mobilized in connection with the protest rally taking place in Tbilisi, on Marshal Gelovani Avenue, near the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture, and ensure the protection of public order.
Despite the numerous appeals of the law enforcement officers to the organizers and participants of the rally to follow the rightful requests of the representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not to exceed limits of the right to assembly and manifestation provided by law, the participants of the rally did not take into account the legal requirements of the police and violated the public order, due to which 11 persons were arrested for the actions committed under Articles 166 and 173 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Georgia.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs once again calls on organizers and participants of the protest rally to follow the rightful requests of the police and not to exceed the limits of the right to assembly and manifestation provided by law. On each act of violation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will take appropriate legal action within the framework of the acting legislation of Georgia.
