Supporters of Georgia's European integration have held protests for the 469th day in a row.
Those convicted of participating in protests are required to plead guilty to early release, their relatives said at a daily rally outside the Georgian Parliament.
As "Caucasian Knot" reported, on March 10, the 468th day of continuous protests, protesters on Rustaveli Avenue announced trips to Georgia's regions. Activists from the Freedom Square party will visit Georgia's regions to inform residents about the country's problems and the reasons for the protests.
Supporters of Georgia's European integration, carrying national and EU flags, gathered today on the pedestrian section of Rustaveli Avenue near the Parliament building for the 469th consecutive day, Publika reports.

Protesters brought posters to the rally: "Solidarity with Denis Kulanin and Zura Mentetashvili," "We see each other, stand shoulder to shoulder," "Crime is in an excellent position," "Give us back the 120 political prisoners we are proud of," "We will not give in," "Don't feed the police poor quality food," and "Two microphones, one theme: Christianity and protest," according to posts by photographer Mo Se and Georgian media on Facebook*.
30-year-old Russian citizen Denis Kulanin was detained on March 28, 2025, on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi and taken into custody on charges of damaging a police car during a protest. In court, he apologized for his actions and admitted guilt. In early June, the court sentenced him to two years in prison. Denis Kulanin's name is included in the list of political prisoners in Georgia. In late February 2026, he went on a hunger strike due to being placed in solitary confinement.
Those convicted of protests in Tbilisi will be asked to fill out documents for early release from prison, although the text differs from the standard. The convicts are asked to admit their guilt and repent, the Pirveli television channel reported today.
The parole commission begins reviewing cases only after half of the sentence has been served. Despite this, family members of the convicted individuals stated that in exchange for a hearing on the case of "prisoners of conscience," they were asking for a written confession of guilt.
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. Thousands of people were subjected to administrative prosecution during the protests. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report, "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protesters in Georgia".
