Everyone has the right to gather and express their opinions peacefully, this will be preserved on October 4, too. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

"However, I want to emphasize clearly - I advise everyone not to break the law. If anyone chooses to do so, they will face a swift and strict legal response… I would like to remind everyone involved in violence, a small number, more than 30 individuals, have already been held accountable. The penalties are quite severe, beginning with 2 years of imprisonment, while some have received sentences of 4 – 4.5 years.

Let me make it clear: anyone caught violating the law will face a firm and appropriate response. We strongly advise everyone to refrain from resorting to violence or breaking the law, or else the legal consequences will be severe", - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
