An opposition activist in a zebra costume speaks to the media during a rally outside Georgian parliament, in Tbilisi, Georgia. He said that his costume personifies the MPs of the ruling party - the leader of the Georgian Dream, billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is famous for his extravagant hobbies, including a private zoo with exotic animals. The Georgian Parliament held its first session in Tbilisi on December 10, but only with deputies from the ruling Georgian dream party. Opposition which disagrees with the election results has boycotted the parliament session. All opposition parties that entered Parliament following the October 31 elections have accused the authorities of rigging the vote and are demanding new elections.
