"One shameful and unfair year has passed since 20 June. Exactly one year ago, the Georgian Dream allowed a Russian deputy, occupation law infringer and communist Gavrilov, to enter the Parliament and let him have a seat of the Chairperson.

Exactly one year ago, thousands of people protested this fact in front of the Parliament. The authorities demonstratively punished these people to show it to Russia.

1 year ago, on 20 June the government went for hunting its own people with the use of bear bullets and tear gas till the morning. 240 demonstrators were injured as a result. Hundreds were arrested. Five individuals have lost their eyesight. 40 journalists were injured. Recognized international organizations deemed the government's raid as disproportionate and as a police excess", - state the organizers.
