The Ministry of Internal Affairs warned organizers of both protests on Rustaveli Avenue to avoid violence. A silent rally is underway in front of the Parliament building. Opposition parties, NGOs and Tbilisi Pride representatives, who failed to hold their March of Dignity yesterday, gathered to condemn the violence that occurred on Rustaveli on July 5 at the anti-Tbilisi Pride rally. At the same time, Guram Palavandishvili, his far-right supporters and other opponents of Tbilisi Pride are holding a rally on the other side of the road.

Police get in between two rallies and work to prevent confrontation. The Interior Ministry called on demonstrators not to go beyond the law of freedom of assembly and expression. It also recommended media representatives cooperate with the police and follow their instructions.

Vazha Siradze, Head of the Patrol Police Department, said the police defused tension and escorted four people out from the parliament building territory after approximately twenty people approached the Parliament building and physically assaulted the PalitraNews cameraman.
