- IDPs and street traders take their protests to the Presidential Palace
Protests held by IDPs and street traders have been taken to the Presidential Palace, as both groups call on Mikheil Saakshvili to respect their rights. The united groups have escalated their protests, following yesterday’s rally outside Tbilisi City Hall.
According to reports several hundred IDPs are demanding the privatization of their living spaces, as police seek to evict them from a former Soviet military building in the capital. The street traders are appealing to the President to study the issue on ban of street trade and help to solve the problem. Street traders are refusing to enter markets because of the high taxes.
In a recent report Amnesty International slammed the Georgian government for its failure to meet its obligations in caring for people displaced by recent conflicts over the last two decades.
