" We are defending freedom of speech,"- say the citizens , who have gathered in front of the City Court to support Rustavi2. According to them not only the broadcasting company, but the fundamental rights- freedom of speech and expression are also threatened.

The protesters say that if the court proceedings will not finish in favor of the broadcasting company, they will start mass protests,

" The government restricts freedom of speech. So if they do it with Rustavi2, what they will do with us, ordinary people?  Georgian Nation is on the  verge of destruction,"- says one of the supporters of Rustavi2.
