Representatives of non-governmental organizations are gathering at the Soros Foundation. The third sector will develop a joint statement, the content of which will be known later.
Prior to the meeting, Giorgi Mshvenieradze, chairman of the NGO "Georgian Democratic Initiative", said that the government should take responsibility for yesterday"s events and the chairperson of the parliament and the Minister of Internal Affairs, who ruthlessly abused citizens should leave the post.
"The action, which was peaceful, at some point trespassed the law when part of the protesters decided to enter by force the parliament building. However, the reaction of the authorities has gone beyond the scope of the law and they have actually gone into the streets in the hunt for the people. It was not a mistake bringing Gavrilov in Georgia. It was not a mistake, it was a deliberate action. If the government understands that it should be able to calm the public now, on the one hand, some politicians should be sacrificed. Kutsnashvili is not a figure that could be adequate to the requirement that the rally had yesterday. It may be Mr. Kobakhidze"s mistake, but this is a mistake that is not forgotten. If the government understands the consequences, it should impose political responsibility on the Minister of Internal Affairs and resolve the situation created by his dismissal, "said Giorgi Mshvenieradze.
