May 23 Protest Rally

On the third day of the protest rallies, People’s Assembly, led by ex-parliamentary speaker Nino Burjanadze, announced about its intention to relocate the protest venue back on the Freedom Square on May 25 in order not to allow the authorities to hold military parade, marking Independence Day on May 26, “quietly” and “comfortably”. Number of protesters at the rally varies from few hundred during the night-time to few thousand at afternoon.
