I Remember November 7 – Public meeting at Rustaveli Theater

Public representatives are holding a meeting at Rustaveli Theater to express protest to November 7, 2007 developments in Tbilisi.

On November 7, the Georgian government violently dispersed the anti-governmental protest at Rustaveli Avenue using heavy-handed tactics, including tear gas and water cannon, unblocked Rustaveli Avenue, dislodged the protesters from the territory adjoining to the House of Parliament, and prevented the demonstrators from resuming the protests.

Also on November 7, riot police attacked Imedi TV while a news programme was being broadcast live on air. Police officers in masks and carrying assault rifles were seen sealing off the office. The broadcaster, which the then-government claimed was biased and pro-opposition, was subsequently switched off.
