Secretary of the National Security Chief Vano Merabishvili today expressed concern over disbanding the opposition’s protest rally in Batumi.
“This was a minor protest rally, in which only some 300 local opposition activists were participating and disbanding of this rally clearly indicates that Adjarian leader Aslan Abashidze’s regime is falling apart,” Vano Merabishvili said at a news briefing on April 30.
Earlier on April 30 police broke up some 300 protesters in Adjarian Autonomy’s capital Batumi on April 30. Dozens of protesters were reportedly injured.
