Protesters rally in Adjara

19:15, 15.02.2021

Citizens with various social problems hold a protest rally in front of the Adjara Government building in Batumi on Monday.

Locals affected by the construction of highways or hydropower plants and mortgage loan sufferers have gathered to demand compensation. Residents of the so-called Cardon Town joined the protest. They required individual housing contracts.

Demonstrators have been asking for a meeting with the Chairman of the Adjara Government, Tornike Rizhvadze. They tried to block a central Rustaveli Street, but police stopped them. Law enforcers removed two people from the area.

The protest organizer announced rallies a week ago and warned to pitch tents.
