Givi Targamadze – Protest rallies will continue even if all oppositional politicians are arrested

The United Opposition held a briefing in reaction to the decision of General Prosecutor’s Office to ask consent from the parliament on the imposition of imprisonment to MP Nika Melia.

Members of the opposition said that the government activated the mechanism of repressions but nothing would cast shade to the main demand of protesters – resignation of Minister of Internal Affairs Giorgi Gakharia.

Representatives of the opposition said that protests would continue even if all oppositional politicians were arrested until the regime of Oligarch (referring to Bidzina Ivanishvili, Chairman of Georgian Dream Party) was over.

According to Gigi Ugulava, the rally was a protest of angry people having a concrete demand – resignation of Giorgi Gakharia, who was “the main actor for blinding and gravely injuring the people.”

“Criminal signs under Criminal Code were detected against MP Nikanor Melia,” Prosecutor’s Office said during the briefing today. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, Melia is called for questioning on June 26 to present the charges.
