Protesters in Tbilisi announced a rally in support of female political prisoners.

Supporters of Georgia's European integration demanded the release of political prisoners during a daily protest on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi. Activists announced a rally in support of Anastasia Zinovkina and Nana Sander for January 27.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on January 21, Iranian citizens joined the daily protest outside the Georgian parliament, expressing solidarity with their fellow citizens' struggle against the ayatollah regime. Demonstrators carried Iranian and Georgian flags and posters reading "Freedom for the people from dictatorship" and "Freedom for the struggling Iranian people." A day earlier, protesters on Rustaveli Avenue noted that, despite Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze's December 2024 statement that there would be no demonstrations by January 20, 2025, protests continue a year later. Supporters of Georgia's European integration gathered today at a daily rally near the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue with national flags, as well as those of Georgia, the United States, and Ukraine. This is the 421st day of the daily protest, Mtavari reports. Protesters issued unchanged demands: the release of all political prisoners arrested in connection with their participation in the demonstrations, as well as the calling of new parliamentary elections.

Also today, a precedent-setting ruling by the Tbilisi City Court was announced in the case of pro-European protester Rezi Dumbadze. The Ministry of Internal Affairs charged the activist with "blocking" a sidewalk on December 17, 2025, but Judge Tornike Kapanadze issued a verbal warning rather than imposing administrative arrest on Dumbadze, as stipulated by the latest amendments to the law on demonstrations, Netgazeti reports.

Protesters have announced a solidarity rally in support of female political prisoners for January 27, beginning at 6:00 PM local time near the Universitet metro station. The protest organizers are demanding that Nana Sander and Anastasia Zinovkina receive medical assistance in the penitentiary, Pirveli reports.

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. In October 2025, after laws on assemblies and demonstrations were tightened, security forces began mass arrests of protesters on Rustaveli Avenue. Most of them were accused of blocking the avenue and obstructing traffic.
