You should also ban firewood, write down that bringing firewood is also prohibited. You should ban canned food as well, people sometimes are hungry at the rally. Write it down that it is forbidden to bring canned food. Then block the entrances, besiege them from all sides and cut off the water, Strategy Builder MP Paata Manjgaladze said at the plenary session of the Parliament, where the draft amendments to the Law on Assemblies and Demonstrations are being cosndiered in the second reading.

According to him, even before there was no relevant record in the law, the law enforcement officers were seizing tents from the rally.

"Nothing has been taken into account after the discussions and the comments made by the opposition, representatives of non-governmental organizations. Should we adopt it in this form? I would like to remind you that in 1988 the Supreme Council adopted a similar regulation against the national movement, but that regulation did not help them then. If you say that the goal is that a person should not be freezing outside, during permanent protests, then ban firewood as well, write down that bringing firewood is also prohibited. You should ban canned food as well, people sometimes are hungry at the rally. Write it down that it is forbidden to bring canned food. Then block the entrances, besiege them from all sides and cut off the water. This article means that. Who should define what is implied by construction? Should the policeman define it? You didn't have the relevant record, but you were removing tents anyway. You took our tent away, a tent from where medical supplies were distributed to the people injured at the rally", said Paata Manjgaladze.
