Clashing On Rustaveli

Night six of the standoff between the government and the people of Georgia unfolded much like the previous nights. Thousands once again flooded Tbilisi’s main avenue, voicing their discontent over the results of the rigged election and the anti-European stance of the self-proclaimed government. As usual, their calls were met with disproportionate police violence, transforming Rustaveli Avenue into a battleground where firecrackers clashed with water cannons and police squads.

Already in May of this year, during the demonstrations against the so-called „Russian Law,“ protesters were prepared to confront police intimidation tactics.
