Students Plan Further Protests This Evening

Students are organizing a further protest in Tbilisi this evening following on from yesterday’s large protest in front of the parliament building.

Georgian students plan to hold a peaceful seated protest in front of Tbilisi State University at 6 PM this evening.

Angry at Russian occupation in Georgia, the protest is in support of living in a united and free country.

“The role of Georgian students is very important in the history of our country, the main driving force of all national-liberation movements in the country which have preserved Georgia’s future,” reads a statement on the Facebook event to which over 3,000 people have clicked attending within minutes of the creation of the event.

Yesterday, thousands of protestors attempted to storm parliament after a Russian MP was allowed to speak from Georgian parliament. Given Russian occupation in Georgia, many Georgians took to the streets calling for the resignation of MPs.
