Members of the 7 November group protest at the Tbilisi appeal court over the jailing of two opposition activists Levan Gogichaishvili and Giorgi Alkhazishvili - charged, as in Soviet times, with "hooliganism": then as now used across the Caucasus as a catch all offensive used to throw disidents in jail on the basis of fabricated evidence.
