Protesters Rally outside Parliament, Public TV
Protesters reconvened outside the Parliament for the sixteenth day on April 24, before continuing rally outside the public TV.
Like in previous days, opposition leaders were addressing protesters striking an optimist tone saying that their struggle would accomplish “soon” and other saying – “in several days.”
“He [President Saakashvili] will go from the Georgian political life; he will go from politics forever,” Nino Burjanadze, a former parliamentary chairperson, and leader of Democratic Movement-United Georgia, told protesters.
“There are about 300 cells in this ‘town of cells’ and about 800 people keep vigil in those cells every night; these people are heroes,” Zviad Dzidziguri of Conservative Party told the rally.
A motorcade of several hundred cars with opposition supporters arrived from the western regions late on Friday evening and joined the rally in Tbilisi. Alliance for Georgia has organized this second wave of reinforcement from provinces. Alliance for Georgia said its activists will be deployed in improvised cells on the Rustaveli Avenue.
One part of protesters moved to the public TV to continue rallying there late on Friday, where on April 23 the opposition set up improvised cells and blocked the traffic on Kostava Street, one of key thoroughfares in the capital city.
