For a week now, government media and bots have been attacking parents of children with Duchenne syndrome on social media, according to Pirveli TV.

The parents are demanding medication for their children. This is the protesters' only demand, and in response, they are facing a series of attacks. Today, the parents named four accredited medications. Moreover, they claim that the medications currently being provided to teenagers with Duchenne syndrome by the state have more contraindications than the medications they are demanding be imported.

Publika also published photos from the Georgian Parliament, showing small groups of people or individuals standing alone with Georgian flags.

Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024.
