Protesters in Tbilisi blocked Rustaveli Avenue for the 334th day in a row.

Demonstrators gathered outside the Georgian Parliament building managed to block traffic on Rustaveli Avenue for several minutes, after which police forced them to clear the roadway.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on October 26, the 333rd day of protests, an opposition march took place in Tbilisi to mark the anniversary of the parliamentary elections. Politicians called on those gathered to more actively participate in the daily protests on Rustaveli Avenue.

Protesters in Tbilisi blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue today for the 334th day in a row. Activists gathered near the Georgian Parliament sang the national anthem and chanted, "Until the end, until the end!" and "Long live Georgia!", Interpressnews reports.

Police were mobilized at the scene. The protesters managed to block traffic on the avenue for only a few minutes – after police demanded they clear the roadway, they did so and continued their protest in the pedestrian area.

Most of the protesters did not cross onto the roadway and remained on the sidewalk, though numerous police officers arrived to push the protesters off the road, Tbilisi_life reports.

Police were also on duty near the Freedom Square metro station, checking people walking from Rustaveli Avenue. At least one person was detained by security forces for an unknown reason – they put him in a car and drove away, according to an acquaintance.

It was also reported that opposition figures Giorgi Mumladze and Koba Abshilava were arrested. Their arrest was confirmed by lawyer Giorgi Tabatadze, who was present when Mumladze was detained by four people, Publika writes.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. Over a thousand people were subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests.
