“During both manifestations on Rustaveli Avenue, the police took all appropriate measures defined by the law so that the expression of protest was held in the most peaceful environment. Regardless of numerous calls, demonstrators offered resistance to the representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, threw various objects, as a result of which three law enforcement officers were injured. Owning to the violent actions, police vehicles were also damaged.
