Anti-Namakhvani HPP protesters rally in Tbilisi

Anti-Namakhvani HPP protesters are rallying at First Republic Square in downtown Tbilisi on Sunday.

The rally organizers will address the protest participants and announce their action plan at 3 pm.

People from different regions of Georgia joined the rally.

For the record, the protests against the HPP construction have been underway in western Georgia for almost six months.

Earlier, the Georgian government announced that the HPP construction would be suspended for 9 to 12 months until the environmental, geological, and seismological surveys are reviewed.

Nevertheless, local protesters plan to continue rallies. They believe the HPP would be constructed anyway, which they oppose.
