Eleven citizens of Tbilisi participating in the disturbances near Amirani movie theater in central Tbilisi have been detained, reports the press service of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Several hundreds of leaders and supporters of ultranationalist groups have gathered near Amirani movie theater to disrupt the screening of the Georgian-Swedish film “And Then We Danced”, referring to the movie about the love affair between two solo dancers as “gay propaganda”.

An hour before the film screening, radicals made several attempts to attack Amirani movie theater, and a special significant detachment was brought to the scene of the incident.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia reported that, in spite of the radicals’ demonstrations, “all the film screenings in Tbilisi began on time”.
