For the second day in a row, security forces have detained participants in a march in Tbilisi.

Protesters in Georgia dedicated a march on the 358th day of continuous protests to the marchers detained the day before. Police blocked various streets, impeding the march, after which they detained several people.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 19, the 357th day of daily protests, clashes occurred between police and protesters in Tbilisi. Security forces detained several marchers after they stepped onto the roadway. The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs later announced that 13 people were detained at the protest march in Tbilisi for failing to comply with security forces' demands and insulting police officers.

Today, on the 358th day of continuous protests, supporters of Georgia's European integration gathered outside the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue with their unwavering demands: new elections and the release of all those detained for participating in the demonstrations. As before, police mobilized a large number of officers on Rustaveli Avenue, lining the roadway on both sides.

As in previous days, protesters carrying Georgian and EU flags began their march from the parliament building along a route not announced in advance by the organizers. The march organizers asked participants not to engage in any contact with police, given the arrests on November 19. The opposition dedicated the march to the activists arrested the day before, Interpressnews reports.

The marchers chanted "Georgia, rise up, rise up!" and "Down with the Russian regime!" However, some protesters remained outside the parliament building, continuing their protest at their traditional location, the publication notes.

The activists were able to march from the parliament building to the Supreme Court building because police began blocking their path on various streets. Several activists were detained.

"Police are forcing protesters to walk along a narrow sidewalk that can only accommodate one or two people at most. This is how protests are conducted now – under guard," Tbilisi Life reports. According to the channel, one of those detained is sports journalist and lawyer Mikheil Zakareshvili. Security forces took him from the sidewalk "unexpectedly and without reason."

As a result, the marchers were forced to return to the parliament building and continue their protest there.
