Tbilisi Protesters Force Police To Retreat And Block Special Forces Control Base

Barricades are erected near the base.

The security forces failed to disperse protesters against the law on "foreign agents" in the centre of the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. They began to equip iron structures near the entrance to the base of the Special Forces headquarters and arranged it near the entrance.

This is reported by the News of Georgia and the local opposition TV channel Pirveli.

Such constructions near the entrance to the building are likely to halt the movement of special forces.

The media published footage of such "blocking" structures.

Before that, on the night of May 1, the situation near the parliament building escalated several times, and thousands of protesters gathered there.

The special forces left Rustaveli Square after several failed attempts to disperse the protesters, and the protesters themselves moved close to the parliament building to continue the protest action. It is specified that the police forces retreated to Chichinadze Street and Freedom Square with the applause of the protesters.

That night, law enforcers, in particular, used tear gas and water cannons, as well as pepper spray against the demonstrators. Everything happened against the backdrop of clashes, there were detentions and victims, some politicians and media representatives were affected.
