Opposition to rally in several locations in Tbilisi on November 10

The opposition will hold several protest rallies in Tbilisi on November 10, said Nika Melia, Chairman of the United National Movement (UNM) party during the protest outside the parliament building.

The rallies will be held at the Ministry of Justice, State Security Service and Health Ministry. Melia did not disclose the fourth location.

“We have to acknowledge that the struggle will be tiresome, but big victories are ahead,” UNM Chair claimed.

UNM Chair added there is no time to grumble, bearing in mind that the jailed ex-president has been on a hunger strike for 40 days now.

Melia also called on people to join the protest in the courtyard of the Tbilisi City Court.

The November 10 trial of ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili will have to do with the November 7 rally dispersal, crackdown of Imedi TV and exceed of authorities over the seizure of Mtatsminda Park. Law enforcers arrested Mikheil Saakashvili in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on October 1. The ex-president is charged with several criminal offences. In 2018, he was sentenced to six years in prison in absentia for abuse of power.
