The state of exception will last at least 15 days. All marches are forbidden, as well as any form of protest. State TV news were stopped. The four private TV stations send only entertainment shows. The critical TV station IMEDI is shut down, police entered it on wednesday. Schools and universities are closed.

Michail Saakaschwili, the president of state, is anti-russian and pro western. He says the protests in Georgia are Russias fault. He says the state of exception was necessary to avoid chaos.

The russian ministery of the exterior called the state of exception in its neighbour country Georgia "a provocation".
