Rules for holding rallies and protests may be tightened in Georgia
At the initiative of the ruling Georgian Dream party, amendments to the law on rallies were submitted to the Georgian parliament for consideration. In particular, organizers of protests will be prohibited from setting up a stage or other structures if they pose a threat to participants and passers-by, interfere with the police’s ability to maintain public order, and pose a threat to the work of the department. The structure cannot be erected if nothing interferes with the event without it.
