Opponents of Namakhvani HPP blocked Rustaveli Avenue

Protesters against the construction of Namakhvani HPP blocked Rustaveli Avenue, in particular, the area around the Rustaveli metro station.

According to Varlam Goletiani, one of the organizers of the rally, the protest will continue until their demands are met.

"Since we have a stage on Republic Square and we have tents set up, naturally, we can not leave the area and we decided to move to the Republic Square and there, Rustaveli Street will be blocked by us today, it will not be opened. We will be close to the main location where we started this process, everything will be blocked there until our requirements are met. On May 26, we are confident that if our demands are not met by then, the entire capital will stand by us and stand up for each other in defending their rights, each individual.

Therefore, on May 26, there will be a parade and a feeling of freedom not here, but where we stand, the main place of protest, the whole capital will come there", - Goletiani said.
