We - "Democracy Defenders" joined local civil activists in Kobuleti, to jointly protest the opening of a Russian office (office of the so-called Conservative Movement, same as Alt-Info) and the expansion of Russian influence in Georgia. Our non-violent march ended at the Conservative Movement office with the anthems of Georgia, Ukraine and the European Union.
We would like to remind you that on March 22, peaceful activists in Kobuleti held a rally in solidarity with Ukraine in front of the office of the Conservative Movement, where they were physically assaulted by a group of Alt-Info members, who were mobilized prior to the event. As a result, four peaceful activists received bodily injuries and one was taken to a clinic. Police was unable to protect the peaceful protesters.
