Grigol Gegelia, a member of the “Strong Georgia” party, was doused with water in Freedom Square. As Gegelia told journalists, water from a water cannon was used on him after he addressed the police mobilized on the spot.

“We are in this situation, there is chaos in this country. We are actually trying to ask questions, but they do not have answers and they will probably break up a peaceful protest in order for Bidzina Ivanishvili to enter the parliament peacefully, but we will resist them.

As a person elected by the people of Georgia, I have the right to ask the police whether they are going to break up a peaceful rally or not? - They have no answer on this issue, instead one of the vehicles used a water cannon against me,” Grigol Gegelia said.
