Participants were evacuated from the “Pride Festival” area, Tbilisi Pride reports.
According to them, the police failed to protect the area.
“We had to leave the area. The law enforcement officers failed to protect the area. The evacuation was carried out by mini buses,” the statement reads.
Opponents of the “Pride Festival” broke through the police cordon and broke into the territory of Lisi Lake, where the “Pride Festival” was to be held.
This was followed by a confrontation between the police and the participants of the rally.
One part of the police, including a group of special forces, made a new cordon in the inner territory of Lisi Lake.
The police arrested several people opposing the “Pride Festival” in the area around Lisi Lake.
