#Bassiani and #CaféGallery, the prime spots of Tbilisi's dance music scene, were raided by armed police last night.
The venues were raided by the Georgian military police in full riot gear with machine guns and everyone on the dance floor was made to stand against the walls with hands to their sides.
Officers stormed the clubs as part of the government's response to five drug deaths over the past two weeks, which the authorities claim are linked to Bassiani but the club issued a statement claiming none of the tragic deaths have occurred at the venue and this was simply part of a smear campaign by right-wing political forces.
How did Tbilisi’s club community react to the news? They threw a PROTEST RAVE outside the Georgian Parliament with thousands of protestors demanding the resignation of the minister of internal affairs who apparently ordered the raid!
