Last weekend government of Georgia decided to make an extreme move and raided into two nightclubs in Tbilisi, Bassiani and Cafe Gallery.


Right after the raids, with the power of social media, the protests against the government turned in to the biggest and the most beautiful rave act of 21st century right in front of the Tbisili parliament building.

On Twitter, thousands of support tweets were sent to the protestors in Georgia while they were having the greatest time on earth in an open-air rave (without harming anyone or anything) and on Sunday finally, the government of Georgia stepped back.


The Minister Of Internal Affairs of Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia, has apologized to protesters in Tbilisi for Saturday's police raids of Bassiani and Café Gallery.


On Sunday evening, Gakharia spoked to the news right in front of Parliament building in Tbilisi, where the protests took place. "I apologize not only on my behalf but on behalf of any representative of the Interior Ministry if he endangered you or your security. At the same time, I'd like to ask you, who insulted people wearing uniforms and were protecting your security, to apologize to them." A source who was at the scene tells Resident Advisor that the second part of the apology was met with boos, as protesters were largely positive and "none of us [had] done any harm whatsoever to the police."

Gakharia's statement also acknowledged Georgia's strict drug policy and made promises to change it. "I also promise that we will achieve specific results in the direction of drug policy. And if promises are not kept, we will always be able to dance or listen to music in a free city."
