Opposition Rally Outside Parliament

Few hundred people gathered outside the parliament at an opposition-organized rally on April 15 "to express solidarity" towards, what the opposition calls, "political prisoners" and "persons held in prisons illegally."

The rally was a follow-up to a joint appeal, which a large group of opposition parties, both parliamentary and non-parliamentary, made earlier this week calling on international community and Tbilisi-based foreign diplomats in an attempt to highlight the problem of "persons held for political reasons."

Although protesters briefly blocked the Rustaveli Avenue outside the Parliament,  the rally dispersed peacefully with no incidents reported.
