Georgian civil activists and politicians are holding a protest rally near the Vinotel Hotel where Russian journalist Vladimir Pozner is staying in Tbilisi on the eve of his birthday.

Elene Khoshtaria, the leader of political party Droa, said that Pozner, who has violated the law of Georgia on occupation, should not have been allowed to enter the country.

Activists have called the labour inspection to fine Vinotel Boutique Hotel in downtown Tbilisi where the Russian visitors have gathered tonight during the curfew.
