The hunger strike outside the Georgian parliament continues for 15 days.
For the third week, the Georgian Ministry of Health has refused to allocate an ambulance to monitor the health of hunger strikers outside the Georgian Parliament building.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," the hunger strikers stated that they would continue the action as long as their health allows.
On October 28, one of the leaders of the "Coalition for Change" Gedevan Popkhadze, activist of the "United National Movement" Darejan Tskhvitaria, and several others announced a hunger strike in protest against the daily arrests of demonstrators blocking Rustaveli Avenue. The protest is taking place outside the Georgian Parliament building, where protesters gather daily.
The hunger strikers' demands remain unchanged on their 15th day: they are seeking the release of all those arrested for participating in the protests and new, fair parliamentary elections. The hunger strikers claim that Georgian Dream supporters are spreading disinformation about them, but the opposition has no intention of ending the protest, according to Pirveli TV.
"We have repeatedly asked the Ministry of Health to create a monitoring group for us, but they have refused. Citizens have been fasting in front of the Parliament building for 15 days now, although no government official, including the Ministry of Health, has yet inquired about their health," the hunger strikers stated. They called on other opponents of the Georgian Dream party to join the protest demanding new elections and the release of political prisoners.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," hunger strikers outside the Georgian parliament required medical assistance on the tenth day of their protest. On November 10, the 14th day of their hunger strike, activists demanded that an ambulance be constantly on duty at the protest site to monitor the protesters' health.
