Supporters of European integration took to the Georgian parliament for the 436th day in a row.
Protesters in Tbilisi spoke out against education reform and demanded the release of all those arrested for participating in the protests.
As "Caucasian Knot" reported, on February 5, the 435th day of continuous protests, dozens of protesters in Tbilisi received notices that their bank accounts had been frozen due to unpaid fines. Police, contrary to legal requirements, did not notify the activists of the fines that served as the basis for the freezes.
Georgian protesters gathered today for a protest outside the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue with national flags, EU flags, and homemade posters, according to a post by photographer Mo Se on Facebook*.
Reminding the opposition of their unwavering demands, protesters stood on the sidewalk near the roadway, holding flags. They held signs reading: "Fire of the Oligarchy," "Saturday is March Day," "You Can Wrap One Egg from the Tray for Kobakhidze," and "Regime Justice: Prisoners in Prison, Murderers in the Special Forces Unit." Some activists held signs against education reform.
The protest on Rustaveli today marked the 436th consecutive day, Publika reports.
Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. Over 1,000 people were subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report titled "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protest Participants in Georgia".
