Bassiani is facing a threat of closure

Tbilisi’s club Bassiani is “facing a threat of closing down” following last weekend’s police raids.

One of the world’s most iconic rave venues, Bassiani has remained closed since the May 12th raids, which, along with the closure of Cafe Gallery, sparked a protest rave outside Parliament Of Georgia.

Later we saw the country’s Minister Of Internal Affairs, Giorgi Gakharia, issue an apology and promise to change Georgia’s strict drug policies but despite the negotiations, none of the agreed conditions have been fulfilled, as the club officials said the their statement.

“Behind the Bassiani helmet stands an angry warrior, who fights for the new ideas and who won’t back down from the struggle for freedom. We won’t stop and will continue to fight against the unjust system and inequality. Thank you very much for your unconditional love and support. In this war for ideas and values our only hope is our truth and people, who have always stood with us”

The club has also set up a donation fund, to collect money for, as they say, “a legal battle and stop the state oppression.”
