Several hundred activists from the pro-Russian Justice Party gathered outside the State Chancelary on March 31 and demanded resignation of President Saakashvili.
The Justice Party (Samartlianoba) is led by fugitive Igor Giorgadze, Georgia’s ex-security chief, who is wanted by Georgia for a failed terrorist attack against ex-President Shevardnadze in 1995.
The Georgian media reported on May 23 that the Russian officials have expressed readiness to grant Igor Giorgadze political asylum in Russia.
