Tbilisi. "Identoba" has released the statement concerning the May 17 manifestation. According to the organization, the Ministry of Interior has failed to undertake adequate measures to secure the peaceful start and end of the rally."The police has not undertaken due measures: appropriate number of police officers was not mobilized on site and they were not equipped to restrain the violence. They did not resort to any lawful remedies prescribed for such instances. The police managed to evacuate only a portion of the rally participants, however, even in this case the counter-demonstrators and clerics have managed to attack the buses and physically abuse the participants," says the statement. Identoba demands from the authorities immediate prevention of the crime, detention of offenders and launch of an investigation.
