Police in Tbilisi continued to detain protesters.
At least eight protesters were detained in Tbilisi on the 362nd day of pro-European protests. The marchers demanded the release of political prisoners.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," police have detained participants in daily protest marches in Tbilisi for the past five days. On November 23, the 361st day of continuous protests, at least two people were detained.
Security forces have been preventing pro-European protesters from blocking traffic on Rustaveli Avenue since November 6, setting up a human wall of police along the roadway near the Georgian Parliament. Until November 6, 2025, demonstrators blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue for 343 consecutive days. Since security forces prevented protesters from entering the roadway, activists have held daily marches.
Supporters of Georgia's European integration, gathered on Rustaveli Avenue with national and EU flags, held another march through central Tbilisi. From the parliament building, they initially headed to Freedom Square – as in previous days, the organizers did not announce the route in advance. During the march, they chanted, "Freedom for the prisoners of the regime," Interpressnews reports.
On the 362nd day of uninterrupted protest, police again escorted the march along its entire route, preventing demonstrators from entering any street or even crossing the road at pedestrian crossings. At least six activists were detained near Freedom Square.
"At least five protesters were detained near Freedom Square, near the entrance to Kote Abkhazi Street. The detentions then continued near Pushkin Square. The police are simply suddenly rushing into people and making arrests," reports the Tbilisi Life Telegram channel.
The protesters marched along Pushkin Street toward Baratashvili Street and then returned to the parliament building, continuing their protest there.
A total of at least eight people were detained today: Luka Khizadze, Data Kashiashvili, Giorgi Kuruashvili, Irakli Koplatadze, Lado Gamkrelidze, Irakli Modebadze, Dato Lominashvili, and Avto Mikadze, Publika reports.
