Several thousand protesters have turned out in Georgia's capital Tbilisi to voice their discontent with the current leadership and to demand early presidential and parliamentary elections. They picketed the national parliament and the presidential residence to commemorate the events of last year, when a similar rally was violently dispersed by police. Among the demands of supporters of Georgian opposition parties was an investigation into the August war in South Ossetia, freedom of speech and press, and the release of political prisoners.
