Protesters outside the Georgian parliament demanded democratization.
On the 364th day of continuous protests, marchers in Tbilisi, carrying Georgian and EU flags, gathered outside the Georgian parliament demanding the release of persecuted protesters, new parliamentary elections, and the return of the country to the path of European integration and freedom.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," over the past six days, police have detained participants in daily protest marches in Tbilisi. On November 24, the 362nd day of continuous protests, at least eight participants in the protest march were detained.
Security forces have prevented pro-European protesters from blocking traffic on Rustaveli Avenue since November 6, by forming a human wall of police officers 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 been holding daily marches.
On the 364th day of continuous protests, participants gathered near the Georgian Parliament on Rustaveli Avenue. Protesters came with their children, holding flags of the European Union, Ukraine, and Georgia. The demands remain unchanged: release dozens of arrested protesters, hold new, fair parliamentary elections, and return the country to the path of European integration, according to the publication "Publika."
One of the protesters held a sign reading, "You cannot force a generation born free to live in slavery," according to a photo attached to the publication.
No reports of a march through central Tbilisi or arrests of protesters were reported today.
Today, the Tbilisi City Court held a trial for nine people detained at the November 24 rally. Eight of them were sentenced to administrative arrest, and one was fined. The Ministry of Internal Affairs charged them with petty hooliganism, insulting a police officer, and disobeying a police officer, according to Tabula.
On November 28, the anniversary of Georgian Dream's rejection of European integration, protesters are planning a mass rally. For ten days prior, starting today, they plan to speak in front of parliament to "amplify the public's voice" before the rally. Today's speech, the first in a series, was dedicated to the families of political prisoners.
Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces have violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. Over the course of the protests, more than a thousand people have been subjected to administrative prosecution. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protest Participants in Georgia".
