Highlights of the persecution of protesters in Georgia

As a reminder, after October 18, security forces detained protesters en masse. On Rustaveli Avenue, most of them are accused of blocking the avenue and obstructing traffic. Over three days, 60 participants of the protests were detained on this charge.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. They have been holding daily protests on Rustaveli Avenue. Security forces have violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and have detained protesters. More than a thousand people have been subjected to administrative prosecution.
