There is evidence of violations of the norms for the use of active special means, including the targeted use of pepper spray in the face and the mixing of two special means, a water cannon and a chemical irritant.<br>This practice is highly problematic, says the wathdog, for a number of reasons. In particular:</p> <p>It is not known what the acceptable concentration of a chemical irritant in water is that poses a significant risk to human health; When clothing is soaked with a chemical irritant, a person cannot escape its effects; In addition, when a person’s clothing is soaked, it is impossible to control the level and duration of exposure to a chemical irritant. Given that health risks increase with the concentration and duration of exposure to chemicals, mixing water and chemicals violates the duty of law enforcement to minimize harm. Moreover, using the jet cold water, given the low outside temperature, is an inhumane treatment.</p> <p>“We once again call on the officers of the Ministry of Interior to disobey illegal orders and to stop dispersing peaceful demonstrators in a manner that is tantamount to a crime,” GYLA said.

In particular:\n\n\n\nIt is not known what the acceptable concentration of a chemical irritant in water is that poses a significant risk to human health; When clothing is soaked with a chemical irritant, a person cannot escape its effects; In addition, when a person's clothing is soaked, it is impossible to control the level and duration of exposure to a chemical irritant. Given that health risks increase with the concentration and duration of exposure to chemicals, mixing water and chemicals violates the duty of law enforcement to minimize harm. Moreover, using the jet cold water, given the low outside temperature, is an inhumane treatment.\n\n\n\n\"We once again call on the officers of the Ministry of Interior to disobey illegal orders and to stop dispersing peaceful demonstrators in a manner that is tantamount to a crime,\" GYLA said. It further called on the Ministry of Interior to make public the means it is using, including for medical purposes, so that medical personnel have the opportunity to respond appropriately to the injured.\n\n\n\n02:40 - Coalition for Change Members Injured\n\n\n\nMedia reports indicate that members of the Coalition for Change have been injured - one of its leaders, Elene Khoshtaria, became sick after inhaling tear gas and standing under the water cannon (which reportedly has some gas mixed in), while Boris (Chele) Kurua suffered a head injury from allegedly a rubber bullet. Another Coalition member Vakho Tsereteli, was beaten and received hear injuries.\n\n\n\n02:30 - The Dispersal on Rustaveli Avenue Started\n\n\n\nThe brutal dispersal started on Rustaveli avenue. Unidentified people in black overalls, helmets and gas masks are operating in front of the riot police line, chasing and beating peaceful protesters. Meanwhile the water cannons are blasting the water, mixed with unidentified substance. The new water canons, that Minister of Interior boasted about recently are much more powerful than the ones MIA had previously used. TV Pirveli cameraman was attacked and injured during the dispersal by the mentioned unidentified people without any insignia. \n\n\n\n02:11 - MIA Uses Water Cannons Against Demonstrators\n\n\n\nRiot police began using water cannons against demonstrators in an attempt to break up the rally. The water is reportedly mixed with pepper spray. The temperature in Tbilisi currently is close to zero degrees Celsius. The police is actively arresting demonstrators.\n\n\n\n02:09 - Three Demonstrators Arrested in the Past Half an Hour \n\n\n\nAccording to media reports, three demonstrators have been arrested in the last half hour.

They once again used tear gas and pepper spray against the demonstrators. \n\n\n\n01:30 - MIA: Three Policemen Injured, Special Means Used\n\n\n\nThe MIA reports that the peaceful protest \"exceeded the norms established by the Law on Assembly and Demonstration.\" The Ministry claims that three policemen were injured, two of them hospitalized, by demonstrators throwing objects at the police. It also admits to having used special means - tear gas and pepper spray - \"to defuse the situation\". It reiterates its call for respect for the law and warns against the continued use of special means.\n\n\n\n01:20 - TV Pirveli Camera Man Injured by Pepper Spray\n\n\n\nTV Pirveli reports that its cameraman Niko Kokaia was injured while performing his professional duties by a riot policeman who sprayed Kokaia in the eyes with pepper spray from close range.\n\n\n\n01:19 - Former PM Kvirikashvili Raises Questions on GD's Decision \n\n\n\nFormer Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili issued a statement saying that the \"temporary halt\" of the EU accession process is in contradiction with the electoral promise given to the voters of GD to move towards the EU \"with dignity\", therefore is \"complete ignorance of the will of the majority\". Kvirikashvili stated that with this step Georgian Dream is \"damaging its own legitimacy, which is completely incomprehensible in an already fragile environment\".\n\n\n\n\"European integration is a two-way process, and its renewal and the setting of deadlines for accession negotiations are not the unilateral prerogative of a candidate country. Georgia's suspension of the process sends an extremely negative signal about a qualitative change in the country's strategy. It is unclear what political and pragmatic arguments are behind this action. I believe that the government should demonstrate its commitment to its main electoral promise as soon as possible, which is to resume the process of active integration with the European Union without compromising on the protection of traditional and family values,\" reads the statement. \n\n\n\n01:08 - Riot Police Sprays Tear Gas, Pepper Spray \n\n\n\nThe riot police stationed near the Parliament on Chichinadze Street began spraying tear gas and pepper spray. Several people were injured and required medical attention, as they were sprayed in the eyes, including UNM's leader Sopo Japaridze. These measures to disperse the rally haven't been used intensively yet, but the situation remains tense. The police took away the handmade banner that a demonstrator had made from the iron fence installed in front of the Parliament building, which read \"Rise up!\".\n\n\n\n00:51 - TI Georgia Calls on Police not to Use Violent Measures Against Demonstrators\n\n\n\nTransparency International Georgia issued a statement calling on law enforcement officials not to obey \"unlawful orders\" and use violent methods to disperse the demonstration. The organization notes that people's \"legitimate protest\" is taking place peacefully in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Zugdidi, Gori, and Batumi, however, violent measures by law enforcers were still observed, including cases of use of special means - tear gas and pepper spray, in addition to physical abuse. \"Citizens' protest is legitimate,\" the organization stressed.\n\n\n\n00:10 - MIA: One Police Officer Injured by Demonstrators\n\n\n\nThe MIA issued a statement saying that despite calls by law enforcement for the demonstrators to protest peacefully, they \"continue to confront law enforcement officers and verbally abuse them.\" The MIA also claims that the protesters injured one police officer, who was taken to a hospital.\n\n\n\nThursday, November 28\n\n\n\n23:55 - Diplomats\u2019 Joint Statement: Stopping EU Accession Negotiations Contradicts Country\u2019s Strategic Interests\n\n\n\nDozens of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs employees have issued a joint statement in connection with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze\u2019s announcement to stop EU accession. They express their commitment to Georgia\u2019s EU aspirations, stressing that the enlargement window that is now open may never be reopened, and if Georgia stops on this path, it risks facing isolation.\n\n\n\n23:30 - President Joins Protest, Talks to Special Forces \n\n\n\nPresident Salome Zurabishvili joined the peaceful demonstrators in front of the Parliament, where special forces had already been mobilized along with water cannons. After joining the rally, the President went directly to the representatives of the special forces and tried to talk to them.

Any illegal action will be met with an appropriate legal response from the police,\" reads the statement.\n\n\n\n20:54 - Police Arrests Peaceful Demonstrator in Kutaisi\n\n\n\nPolice arrested Misha Mumladze in Kutaisi.
