By empty (11/11/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Addressing several thousand supporters congregated outside the parliament building in central Tbilisi on 11 November, Mikhail Saakashvili warned that if Shevardnadze does not make unspecified concessions to the opposition, the people will paralyze the functioning of local and national government and force the president to resign. Several opposition parliament deputies began a hunger strike outside the parliament building late on 10 November, according to the website of the independent television station Rustavi-2, while 10 members of Saakashvili\'s National Movement have begun a hunger strike in the western Georgian town of Zestafoni.
