#GeorgiaProtests : Police raided the homes and offices of opposition parties and activists. Searches were reportedly conducted without witnesses and targeted the Coalition for Change, Unity-UNMโs youth wing, the homes of leaders of the activist groups Daitove, Dafioni and Geut.
The riot police started breaking up the demonstration. Thousands of people on Rustaveli Avenue are currently being dispersed with water cannons, tear gas, and pepper spray, and riot police are detaining demonstrators.

#Georgia's ruling party passed the #ForeignAgentsLaw in its third and final reading with 84 votes in favor and 30 against on May 14, amidst significant local demonstrations and despite strong opposition from the West.

We remind the government that Georgia's Euro-Atlantic course is the unwavering will and choice of the Georgian people, which is confirmed in Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia.
