THOUSANDS OF RAVERS GATHERED IN FRONT OF THE GEORGIA'S PARLIAMENT AFTER THE RAIDS

After the extremist and disgusting raids at Bassiani and Cafe Gallery, thousands of ravers gathered in front of Georgia's parliament and turned the area into a beautiful open-air rave.

Religious groups, rightist politicians, and conservatism, they've always been brutal and tried to shut the underground culture in all around the world. Go to Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and last night Georgia.

Brutal police forces raided into worldwide known Bassiani and stopped the night. Forced the visitors of the club to stand against the walls hours and hours. Photos that leaked into Twitter was sad and supports from all around the world, especially Germany, America, and UK made the raid into twitter trends.

As humans, some of us just can't let the others live the way that they want. They can't stop the discrimination instinct in themselves and just because of that, when they get to reach the power they need, they basically turn into 21st century Hitler.

This is just sad but people of culture always respond with beauty, silent treatment or well, in that case, dance treatment.

In response to last night's brutal raids at Bassiani and Café Gallery, members of Tbilisi's club community gathered in front of Georgia's Parliament for what could be described as a protest rave.

Demonstrations began spontaneously last night in the hours immediately following the raids. "They gathered in front of parliament, you could not imagine how many police were there," said Mariam Murusidze, former booker at Café Gallery, who joined the protests early this morning. "We were there until maybe six in the morning when an activist made a statement saying we should go home, gather our strength, and come back at 3 PM."

At 1 PM, members of the White Noise Movement, an activist group closely linked with Bassiani, held a press conference with Bassiani cofounders Tato Getia and Zviad Gelbakhiani, both of whom were arrested on Friday. They demanded the resignation of Georgia's Interior Minister, who had ordered the raids, as well as the country's prime minister, Giorgi Kvirikashvili.

For the protest at 3 PM, a sound system was set up on the steps of Parliament Of Georgia. DJs from Friday's party at Bassiani—Ateq, Sa Pa, and DJ Dustin—played for a crowd that engulfed the area in front of parliament and blocked Rustavali Avenue, and was estimated to include thousands of people.

Protesters had demanded an official statement from the government by 10 PM but received only a comment from Mayor Kakha Kaladze, who called for the club community to fight drug trafficking together with local authorities, vaguely conceding that the style of the raids had been controversial. Unsatisfied, protesters vowed to remain in the square until their demands were met. By midnight, they were pitching tents in the rain, preparing to spend the night.
